Phil,
Bear in mind that when you add C across the damper to gain width, the cathode current of the HO tube drops (along with HV). You can bump the G2 voltage up a tad to bring the current back up.
But insert a milliameter in the K leg so you can see what's going on.

For a 'quick & dirty' test of the HO tube, shut the set off for 7 seconds or so, and then back on. If the width is slow to come back to where it was, the tube is borderline weak.
