'47 magnavox - gutless high voltage (help!)....

Ok, so I'm going over my '47 maggie, and it's working sort of, but the high voltage to the CRT is absolutely gutless. We're talking maybe 5kv and no balls to back it up.

I've so far scoped the horizontal, and I'm getting a 60 or so peak to peak drive waveform to the 6BG6 grid. Which doesn't sound even close to what I need.

And the horizontal's not eager to start.

Anyone got an idea on what I should be seeing on a 6BG6's grid? I'd imagine it'd be a heck of a lot more, and that my problem is that I'm missing out on the drive somewhere along the line.

The HV cap, might be popped, too, but that shouldn't adversely affect things should it? (The tube does have an external coating that's grounded...)

Anyway, here's the schematic:
