Truth is, you have picked a rather hard set to work on, even for experienced vintage TV buffs.
The dual horizontal outputs is a perfect example of this, not sure why Moto chose this over a single larger tube, because it only make it more complicated.
If you have not done so already, it is highly recommended that you get a matched pair of 6JM6s, where this is not critical, it will insure that the horizontal output circuit is working at optimal efficiency.

I had the last of the 28 tube Motorola's, the ETS908. We ran the set 5-8 hours a day! It only required a few tubes, here and there and never any circuit work.
It lasted about 10 years, used until the 23EG got too weak to show a decent picture. It still had the original 6JM6's.
