It doesn't look to me like your CRT has any aquadag coating on it - not all do. I bet there's a high voltage capacitor next the the rectifier tube that does the filtering.

The arcing could be caused by component leads or wires coming too close to the base. I recently worked on a Motoorla that had bad arcing caused my a wire coming too close to the rectifier. All I had to do was move it out of the way.

Did you do any work around that area ?
