Was the resistor replaced in eye tube socket? It generally affects the opening and closing of the eye, but stranger things happen. Also check the B+ voltage. The set might appear to perform properly, but the B+ could low.
I have the very same set. It needs a new grill cloth and the cabinet can use a little attention. The tuning eye is a little dark as well.
