It is my opinion that copper wire corrosion in the HV cage is not uncommon. I had this problem on my Hallicrafter 820 set. I think this is exacerbated inside the HV cage due to corona that can cause ozone, which is highly corrosive. A small knick in the varnish covering the wire can expose bare copper which will oxidize over time and physically weaken the wire.
