Damper tube meltdown

OK, thanks, Bob....so I understand that if the osc is not running, or is off freq, then no HV gets generated, but would a failure of the K7, or even K6 cause the damper tube to roast? I ask because those are the only components I am unable to check directly. I have, of course replaced all the board caps, and checked (& replaced a few) all the resistors....well 98% of em'.... Or am I looking for something more dramatic, like shorted wire or such? Sorry for the questions, but I am still trying to learn this video stuff!

I have an offer in on a 465 Tektronics, so if that happens I'll have another tool for the diagnostic arsenal!.....gotta re-learn it though, the last scope I owned was an Eico 5" in about 1964!
