Dave,

First check to see what kind of a load that 2 watts is supposed to be 
feeding. I believe it fed directly to the final grids at a fairly high 
impedance and not at 50 ohms. I may be wrong about the impedance??
But if you are trying to measure it at 50 ohms and it wants to see a 
higher impedance that may be part of the problem.
