I should give an update! After completing my yearly recurrent training I was able to dedicate time to troubleshooting the horizontal section. Symptoms were horizontal off frequency, low HV.... and it caused TWO 6CG7's to short out internally.
I took three micamold style caps out of circuit and tested them. C115 was the culprit, leaking at only 50 volts. It's supposed to be a 1000-volt cap. I also replaced a couple out of tolerance resistors, nothing too crazy. Two 82K caps were both showing 91k.
I'm back to having a running CTC-5 although I'm dreading a full convergence alignment. The sides are really bad.
