Well I stumbled onto the reason for the arcing in the tube. One of my newly installed capacitors failed. I don't know what its purpose is but it was a.002uf 1600v cap across one winding of the HOT and it failed. I was sitting there watching it and it did it usual couple of arc's and then seemed to be fine and about 15 minutes in it did another arc and this time the horizontal and high voltage went out. After a little checking I found my new cap had shorted. So I found another one and installed it and now no more arcing at all and an even better looking picture. The first cap I put in must have had a problem right from new.
