have you checked the current on the cathode of the 6BG6?
i still suspect that red disk capacitor underneath the damper tube socket.
it appears to me that something is drawing too much current in the output stage. it might be that the flyback xfmr may a a few shorted turns or any of the above mentioned things, it also could be caused by a problem in a different circuit protected by that fuse.

You can download a copy of the Sams here:

The drive control is a pot. I'll try replacing the cap and measure all the voltages and waveforms in the horizontal circuits..

Thanks, I sure will!

Is the focus coil a problem?

Yes, you need to readjust, the height, width, linearity etc. They do not use an ion trap and are self focusing.
Leaving the focus coil in place does produce a blurry image. That's why when I unmounted it in the photos above the picture improved.
