OK, did the CRT light up with a raster after you removed the doorknob? If so, it would pretty well prove the doorknob was at fault. Probably arcing internally since it measured open circuit on your ohms test.
Earlier you mentioned a "new arc" that's developed. I (probably erroneously) interpreted it to mean there's a hole in the insulation of the filament winding that's allowing a DC arc. That would be evinced by a loud, sharp snapping sound. If instead the "arc" is a bluish, lightly hissing corona discharge from the 'tire' to the filament loop, you may be able to insulate it with some silicone. Is it possible to move the filament loop further down on the frame, away from the 'tire'?
