If you have a working or non-working CFL that the glass is not busted on take that and place the glass against the H output top plate lead as well as next to flyback doughnut and see if it lights from the RF energy a working HV system produces... If it lights hold a well insulated screwdriver next to the HV connection metal contact with the set on and see if you can draw an arc. If it has over 1/4" arc your HV is present.

Once you confirm HV is present we can talk about making the screen light...

I was able to confirm High Voltage, I was able to draw a 1/4" arc off the 1B3 tube's anode, however there is no high voltage at the picture tube's anode button.
