It turns out I was looking in the wrong area. With the chassis on it's side the stink was rising from further below and collecting in the corner. At times like this I wish I had one of those heat sensitive cameras.
Here's one of the culprits. It's a 470 ohm cathode resistor on the 25L6 vertical output tube. I really hope the vertical output transformer is OK.
I still haven't replaced the weird 1 ohm @ 60Hz vertical output capacitor either so it's a possibility too.
With that fried open, I let the set run a little longer and saw signs of life inside the HV cage. The 1B3 filament was glowing nicely.
I figure that's a good sign that the hor. tube and flyback are doing something useful.
Finally, I found this 1K resistor getting toasty. It should have about 30 volts across it, but I'm measuring 100 ! Time for more checking.
