In connection with that filament transformer for the CRT it would be a good idea to give the heater a soft start with something like a CL-90 inrush current limiter. This in series with the transformer primary has 120 ohms resistance at startup, and resistance drops gradually to about 7 ohms as the thermistor heats up, so the heater comes on gradually over part of a minute, helping preserve the life of a rare picture jug.
