If all the vertical voltages measure normal you may want to check the output transformer, and yoke and their connections to each other.
I'll check those tonight. I did find a low voltage PIN#7 of the 6BF6 tube.
(Vert Mult / AGC clamper)

I believe pin#7 is the output that feeds into 6DT5 Tube?

I was able to vary the voltage of pin#7 between 7.47 to 11v, but no higher than 11. (using the vertical adjustment pot)

Voltage spec: 25v
Reading: 7.47-to-11v

Some good news:
Im getting clear audio out from the TV- was broadcasting signal on channel #7 with my Blonder Tongue.

Checked the Yoke- Ohm reads are within spec.
