Maybe if you set the Filament too high, the tube would test that way. Maybe that question mark is for the operator to check their setup?
You sure it's not reverse thread? Memory is trying to serve up something about those...
Holy hell...
You were absolutely right.
I'm such a dope sometimes...
(Thanks, fellas.)

Anyone remember having a fight with the lug nuts on a pre 1972 Chrysler (Dodge, Plymouth DeSoto) automobile? The passenger side was normal, but the driver's side was "reverse."
Never owned one, but I remember hearing about it from my Mopar buddies back in the day. I wonder what the thinking was there?
Jim, as I was reading through the posts, I couldn't wait to tell you it was a reverse thread. I see the good members have also experienced this. 🙂
And yes I think many of us have snapped a stud or two on the old Chryslers before coming to the truth. I believe the thinking was that it would only ever tighten itself, never loosen. That might have made sense if it were a single center nut but...

Not bought today, but listening to a new record that got here... They remastered it and pressed it to 180 gram vinyl!

Well, either that or they'd taken a moment to actually have a good look at the thing under proper lighting! Once I did that (after the suggestions here), the thread wind was obvious. In my meager defense, my first attempt to loosen the damn thing was made while simultaneously watching Close Encounters in a dark room with the projector - kinda distracted, heh. 🙄
Yes - maybe those big beautiful knockoffs on Jim Clark's Lotus, but not on Dad's Belvedere. I guess Chrysler eventually reached the same conclusion.
My first car was a 1949 Plymouth. It had "backwards bolts" (no studs) on the drivers side. Both my 65 Mopars (a Dart and a Coronet) and all three of my 1970 "A" bodies (2 Valiants and a Duster) had backwards nuts on backwards studs. My 1973 Challenger did not, so I guessed that they went away in 72.
George, isn’t that about the time air impact wrenches became mainstream?
Might of had something to do with it! ‘Turn up the air Joe’ …..snap……zing 😀
