You probably have a short somewhere down stream of the choke.... such as in the focus coil circuit or one of the loads on the B+ lines.
You only followed a fraction of the short tracing procedure I laid out on a previous page of this thread...you should be better served following that method to the end/extending it to the loads on the line than grabbing chit outa a hat and throwing it at a wall in hopes of something sticking...

Actually I figured out what the problem was, I had the filter choke wired up wrong, and fixed it, now the low-voltage issue is fixed, but now there's something going on with the tuner as there is some smoke coming out of it when I power on the the TV and let tubes warm up, it smells like it might be a resistor or something because it has a sort of "old dust" smell similar to the smell you get when you first turn your furnace on for the first time in the fall.
