OK so I had pulled the 6BG6 Tube out of the circuit and the current draw definitely fell quite a bit, but only down to about 160 watts which is what this TV is rated at when its running correctly which means something is still drawing excessive current yet in the set, but not sure what, as like I said all of the capacitors are brand new so the capacitors can't be the problem, the power transformer isn't the problem, the filter choke isn't the problem (i had confirmed from looking at the schematic that I had the filter choke wired up wrong which after I rewired it correctly, fixed the arcing problem with the 5U4 Tube).
So as of right now I've basically troubleshot and repaired everything that could of possibly been causing issues with this set.
The only other issues that could be causing problems in this set is the Vertical or Horizontal Output Transformers or the Flyback Transformer.
