Those HV divider resistor could also cause focus voltage to drop...That was the case on my 1971 Zenith 12B13C52 chassis. The special HV divider resistor on the HV end of the focus pot was increasing in value, and I couldn't source a spare so I ended up increasing the value of a 1W carbon comp on the ground end of the pot...
