social coil circuit?
R62(390 ohm) is the plate load resistor for the 6V6 audio out(Sams calls it a filter). It supplies voltage from the wiper of the focus coil to the 6V6 plate circuit. This set uses the audio output stage as a voltage dropper, similar to Admiral sets of the time. It's plate voltage(pin 3) should be 205vdc referenced from the cathode(pin 8). Confusing as all get-out to troubleshoot. As mentioned above, best to follow Sams voltage measurement chart to isolate the problem area.
