WHAT! Excuse me, I have a Simpson VTVM with the high voltage probe.
(someplace, sigh, someplace IN my office, double sigh).

I left a good tube (I am pretty sure) at the boneyard when I grabbed the
analog board I used for a swap, so Tuesday I'll bring it home. Sheesh I
hate that, item open on my kitchen table, problem known, but my choice is
either to wait a few days, or steal the part from a different (in this case
MUCH less valuable) working system I have setting around.
