Okay, something's still very wrong. Here's where I'm at.....

I found a 7K ohm 10 watt in my stock. Close enough to give it a try. I'm getting 39.8 V across R127B, so we're right there in the correct range. Now, the horizontal linearity is WAY off, compressed on the left side (as I recall).

But everything's getting hot still. Really hot...to the point where something was starting to give a wisp of smoke. When I lifted the leads off R127B after the set was shut down for a couple minutes they were still extremely warm. The contrast/AGC control does almost nothing now, and the picture has slightly less width than it had.

Here's my work as it is now. The 12 ohm resistor to chassis ground checks out fine.
