Well, I'm mostly certain that the problem was just that the wire going to the 2nd anode fell out of its socket. But I wasn't entirely sure I didn't pull it out when I went to check it, so I pulled the chassis to check that wire wound around the flyback that went bad on my CTC-10 anyway. It was fine.
Since I had the chassis out, I thought I would try and fix another minor problem it had: When the picture got bright it would pull in on the left side and go out of focus. I swapped every capacitor that had anything to do with HV regulation, which fixed it. I don't know which one it was, I didn't want to do them one at a time because its a big deal to pull the chassis, carry it down to the basement to work on it, carry it back upstairs, and reinstall it. I only wanted to do that once. Usually those old brown colored "orange drop like" capacitors are never bad, but at least one of them must have been. I also swapped out the damper tube, it tested fine, but I could hear something rattling around in there when I shook it.
Before I'm done with it, I still have to figure out why vol down button on the remote started turning it up. And I'm going to touch up the convergence. I have to get another mirror. On the average I probably only converge one color set a year, but somehow I seem to also break those mirrors once a year too. I like to get one of those tall rectangular ones so I can just set it on the floor opposite the TV.
