> Very true about the transformer not wanting to see DC.

Yes, it doesn't work with U.S.-tv sets. We can do it in Germany with old tube tv's. They have no transformer and serial heating.
I have lowered the AC current down to 108 volts which results in 6.3 volt heating voltage. There are less arcs than before in the horizontal output stage. With 104 volts the set is working properly, but the picture is too small now. The flyback is cool even after an hour.
The total power consumption noted on the back is 350 watts. But I measured ony 260 to 270 watts (2.5 A).Are there such discrepances in total power consumption?
