They got that from a tap on the HV secondary and used the 1V2 to rectify it.
Later design got it down to around 500 volts which they could get from the boost voltage.

The set was originally owned by a engineer for RCA and I know it was available with the magnetic focus as well so I'm wondering if he opted for the better one.
Any ideas what I should check on my set Bob? I'm wondering about my theory with the horizontal oscillator?
