TA1 Terminals 1&2 have nothing connected to them and 3&4 are shorted together.
I'll try and find a youtube video demonstrating the HT40 and see if the neon bulb lights on CW.

Re: Need help with HT-40 MK 1 troubleshooting
I tend to agree with your feeling that the voltages are high because no current is being drawn.
