Before investing further effort and $$ in that set, it'd be advisable to check the no-load current draw of the power xfmr, considering the xfmr has a history of being brutalized over and over.

Remove all the tubes (except HV rect), disconnect CRT from its socket, power up and measure AC current draw from the wall. This 'idle' current should be very low. If it's excessive, suspect some cooked windings in the xfmr.
