I was thinking of doing that very same thing, only with the focus stick, maybe several more in series.
There used to be solid state plug-in replacements for 1V2, 2AV2, 3AT2, 3A3 and 6DW4. I only used the 3A3 replacements, when the filament winding arced through. I cut the leads from the HV rectifier socket and used the replacement.

well i didnt get into it yet but as i was told from the original owner was that the set was never worked on so im sure the focus coil is original. so i hope just the stick does the job. but what about the 130 6kv ceramic disc cap would it be a good idea to change that as well because the stick is under the chassis so i really dont want to have to yank this thing out 2 times but just the stick and it cures it ok but if it dont well then i guess ill be pulling again if i dont change the cap.
