Got around to putting the chassis back in and firing it up!
Got snow and then hooked up the function generator and got worried with the crosshatch image. Triple checked all of my connections were correct and finally found the culprit. Turns out I knocked one of my socketed transistors on the Horizontal module out and it was just laying on the chassis. Thankfully it didn't short any connections. Hooked that back in and got horizontal lock.
Lots of adjustments needed, but it works! Tube appears strong. I ended up removing the extra 4.7 MOhm resistor in series from when I installed the new divider to allow the focus to center.
Work done on the chassis: NOS universal tripler, replaced the 10 uF 300V capacitor as previously recommended, cleaned (deoxit + wire brush) all module connections, DeOxit + Fader Lube on all pots, overall clean to get rid of grime.
On to what will no doubt be a lengthy alignment period. Glad it didn't blow up.
