If the HV is OK and the set had raster before then something like the voltages on the CRT socket have changed. Check them.

I checked the anode with a HV probe...5 KV which is what I had before when I had a picture. I can't keep the ion trap on because this CRT is not attached to the chassis and it needs to be removed whenever I want to turn the chassis on its side to do work or analysis underneath although I did mark position and orientation on the trap and CRT neck with a Sharpie. I had a pattern from a signal generator before. I'll check the CRT voltages. Thanks!
