I noticed that C-45 in the Sams schematic you posted does not match the Motorola factory issued schematic for a TS-4J late model. The ground end of C-45 should be connected to the floating B- line, not chassis ground. Also if you are using an original metal can ballast, make sure that it does not have any internal shorts. Remove the ballast if you have to, and check the pins for proper continuity and resistance. Your set is supposed to use the latter ballast, as shown in the schematic you posted. A ballast with internal shorts will cause all kinds of problems.
