Picked one of these up recently. Receives fine but has no transmit. I happened to notice that when I key it up the 6EM5 pa tube turns blueish purple. The tube tests strong with no shorts on two different testers. What could be causing this?

Makes it sound as if your tube tester doesn't put voltage as high on the tube as your radio does. Some tube testers detect gas in the vacuum better than others. But that's what it sounds like, a tube with contaminated vacuum.

I agree with 2600, sounds like a contaminated tube.
