I would try subbing a horizontal oscillator tube as heater to cathode leakage can also produce the symptoms you are describing.
What signal sources are you using?

I'm using a kindle fire into a hdmi to av converter that then runs into a rf demodulator. This combination is able to stave off the issue the longest. As for the waves.. imagine a side ways V that goes through and distorts the image. It does not roll. A combination of the tuner fine tuning, contrast control, and a little horizontal lock and can usually bring it back for another hour and then not much seems to help it.
