I would think more along video or screen grid voltages on the picture tube are off value. I would check the schematic voltages and compare them.
Also, is the horizontal output or damper running hot (red plate)?
no on the blooming. when the set had sat for a week or sp it would turn on with zero picture until the brightness was turned up. I did in the middle of this issue recheck all resistors actually a couple of times before the flyback went poof. I will check all voltages with new flyback in it.
no red plate on the hot tube.
