I dove inside the HV box last night and found more evidence of old repairs.

All three HV caps had been replaced. They used "pigtails" with pointy leads sticking out rather than plunging the ends into the solder cups. Not the proper way to dress HV connections


One of the 2.2 ohm filament resistors had cracked so I replaced them both.


More evidence of past HV troubles.
I think this Micamold cap is 0.001 mfd @ 500v and the white dot indicates it's really paper inside so I'm going to replace it.
