I suspect you may find an open resistor chain (bad connection or bad resistor). I have seen R193A open on a couple of these chassis. It is the big fella mounted on the rear chassis apron. In each case, I successfully replaced the one bad section with a big wirewound (ceramic tube type) mounted high up on the HV compartment cage on a home made bracket.

I'm having trouble deciphering that resister, to test use a ohm meter with a lead on one end and work down the line with the other lead?? Test out or in circut??? I have no formal training in electronics, just what I have read and experienced thru the years...radios I have no problem....damn televisions are so much harder.
