2A12 ballast tube...

Hello gents, may I ask a question?



Im working on a new project, and it contains a 2A12 ballast tube. I powered
up this unit briefly after replacing electrolytics, and while the other
tubes glowed happily, I saw nothing from the ballast. This is the first one
Ive seen, so I dont know if it should glow.



My Simpson 445 tube tester wont test this. I see 88 ohms resistance between
pins 2 and 7. Nothing between any of the other pins.



So, should a ballast tube emit a visible glow?...
