RE: Voltage regulator gas tube question

No, it's not defective. The RCA tube manual states the 0A2 anode voltage drop can range from 140 volts to 168 volts.

It's just normal variation from tube to tube. Also, the tube can take 20 minutes or so to stabilize at its normal voltage. And over the life of the tube that voltage may drop some.

Whenever you are checking out a component like that you need to pay careful attention to the operating conditions and tolerances.
