I think this is a series string filament set which does not use controlled heater warm up time tubes so there is a surge of current in some tubes (such as the CRT) when the set is turned on and is hard on the CRT filament...replacing the CRT filament in the string with a resistor and providing a seperate trans for the CRT filament removes the surge problem from it.
