I'm stumped!

[Fuqua, Bill L]

I once had a S38E and I took out the tubes and put them back in and it did not work.
I was a young kid then and this was my first radio. My mother had a repairman come by and 
discovered that one of the sockets had 8 holes instead  of the normal 7 holes.  I had one chance out of 8
getting that tube in right. This was around 1959.

I'm working on a Halli S-119 Sky Buddy II. Going in, the only known problem
was bad filter caps. Replaced those and fired it up. Nada. Doing the voltage
checks, the 6BA6 and the 6BE6 both show voltage on their filaments (between
7 & 8 VAC) but the filaments don't light up. Check the tubes on the checker
and both show VG-EX. The 6CM8's fils light up just fine.

Q: How can two "good" tubes have voltage on their respective fils and NOT
light up when the third tube in the string does? This isn't a xfmr-less rig.

Tnx for any/all suggestions and 73 to all,

Bob
