I agree checking the current is one of the best ways to find out what's happening. But, the blooming, along with slightly short width, which he told me about, and, the white line in middle, which sounds like slight horizontal fold over, obviously, hv is low. I'm not sure if that is caused by low voltage, or, something wrong in hv section. In fact, if the screen resistor on the horizontal output, or, even the cathode resistor on same, if it uses one, which often they do, that would cause that section to draw more current, causing the power supply to drag down.
