I'm not sure that I have a damper tube, but the previous work has left so many "iffy" situations that I'm looking closely at every contact and joint as well as replacing resistors which are more than 10% above/below their specs and questionable caps. Some of the Megohm resistors are off by 30% or more. In a couple of places a new cap has been placed parallel to the original cap.
So while I'm waiting for new HV caps to arrive, I going through this chassis like Sherman's march through Georgia.
Today's question is about correlating potentiometer terminals with the schematic. The pots for vertical cent. and horizontal cent. have four terminals. They also share two terminals. The previous repair guy has rewired so that the 4th terminal on each pot is unused. Here's my diagram of the pots and the schematic. Question is, have I identified the terminals correctly on the schematic? I'm getting ready put the wiring back like it is in the schematic.

Also, thanks to those who mentioned the bleeder chain. Some of those were 30% off and there was a newer resistor added in parallel to one of the originals. It's a good thing that I had been made aware of an entity called a "bleeder chain," because my first thought was, "Gee, I can save a lot of work by replacing these five resistors with one big one!" Then I thought, "But maybe there was a reason they used five resistors in series instead of one big one." Then I learned a little about power dissipation and a catastrophe was averted.
