Found the cause of the smoke. A 6AU6 in the I.F. section had a bad short, another 6AU6 had a missing pin! Relplaced them and the smoke went away. Under full power I got a small tickle of high voltage but nothing on the screen. I'll have to do some recapping to find out what's what.
The CRT is under vacuum, the heaters don't go up in smoke with 6.3 volts applied, however the getter on this tube is non existant! there is no trace of anything inside the glass above the getter bar. Don't know what that means but I don't like it
