Ok, so a little update, I replaced the resistor and capacitor you guys mentioned were probably responsible for the smoke earlier and also a couple other capacitors nearby that I had on hand and I managed to get the tube to stop arcing and the current draw down to 3 amps from the previous 8 amps that it was drawing before.

So I think we're making some progress.
