Part of me wonders if you have the two mixed up.... regardless it looks like you're missing horizontal oscillator signal and or the osc isn't working.
If the screen grid is truly negative like that it means that the damper, flyback fuse or flyback is open. The screen grid voltage drops below spec when the plate isn't drawing current and the screen acts as a stand in plate...If it has dropped that low then the screen current is dangerously high and the tube may already be damaged. It could possibly get that low if there's no osc signal at the grid and the plate is not drawing current from an open circuit.

Well I've just about got this TV recapped I've replaced all of the paper caps except for 2 of them, and then I've replaced all of the electrolytics except for 2 of them, and its because they were values I didn't have on hand, but I have them on order right now.
One thing I noticed is that one of the electrolytic caps was in the Boost circuitry and that was one of the caps that measured bad when I measured it with my ESR meter, and also the main filter cap (which consists of 3 80 mfd 450V caps in series) also all measured bad which are part of the B+ voltage circuitry which might of explained the low voltages on the Horizontal Output Tube.
Also I noticed there's a neon bulb under the TV Chassis near the Horizontal circuitry, what is the purpose of that neon bulb?
