I posted this once before but go no replies that pinpointed the problem.? If you have had such experience with a Henry 2K3 or other amplifier that has? pair of amplifier IN SERIES, I will appreciate your trouble shooting determinations.
The filament of one of the 2??? 3-500ZG? tubes never? lights up. I can switch sockets with the tubes and no change. I can change tubes to another pair of tubes and no change, Only ONE TUBE filiament lights. op.
This is my favorite and most powerful Amplifier !!!

Thanks to Al, Dave,? Rocco and Ron for the good tips. I have tried ALL those suggestions but will go through? them again.
I replaced the tube sockets several years with new unused tube sockets. The only things that make sense is a bad tube, dirty or corroded 
tube pins, weak making poor contact or solder melted out of rube pin.
I have swapped set of good tubes and all tubes do the same thing.? SOOOOOOOO SIMPLE, yet so evasive. The tube sockets are wired for 10VAC allegedly to supply 5 VAC to each 3-500ZG at? 1/2 the current load on the? filament transformer.
I am about to conclude that "OLD HENRY" has a "QUEER"? Electron hiding in it ! I am looking for someone to perform? an exorcism on "OLD HENRY" to get rid of the EVIL ELECTRONS.
I probably should segregate "OLD HENRY" to make sure my other radio gear doesn't become possessed by evil spirits. I have also tried saying HOKUS POKUS repeatedly as well as other evil things but it just sits there and malfunctions. HAINTS AINT FUNNY!!!
Thanks and 73,John, K5PGW
PS: What is also stranger than fiction is that I have bought a Hallicrafters SX 100 from Al, a? Apache plastic replacement dial drum and a gorgeous Hammarlund HQ 140X from Ron, and a 4 element Gem Quad from David when he was K5MDX and lived in Mississippi. I still have the boom and spiders after 46 years.
