no pressure should be required. I can't think of ANY reason that the HV could make the degausser fail to work (unless something is shorted to the point that the breaker has popped).
EVERY set I have with a factory orig fly has wax dripping out of it. Unless you have diagnosed the HV to the point of the flyback being the problem, I would recommend leaving it alone.
If the 6je6 is red plating then of course the fly will not work. However this is not to be confused with the normal filament glowing.
The 1st thing I would have done is a slow power up with the HOT pulled out of the socket, while monitoring the B+ voltage and the total AC current.
If it passed that test, then you should monitor the cathode current of the HOT and do a full power startup, if the cathode current exceed 220ma (guess) then shut it down and start you diagnosis, begin with a check of the 6je6 grid and screen voltages. Pull the plate cap off and check the voltage at the cap (not the tube, the cap lead). Do NOT check the 6je6 cap when its installed on the tube.
