Heathkit Cap Tester C-3
#29

Had a rectifier tube socket go bad on mine and gave about the same symptoms you describe. Mine burned a carbon track between a couple pins on the rectifier tube. Maybe yours is arcing to ground. Pretty high potential on that socket. Found the problem by turning off the lights and watched.
