Some might suggest a resounding "full recap!" I think that the capacitors in the RCAs of this era are actually quite reliable, but unless you're able to solve the low HV issue by swapping out the Horizontal Output, Damper, HV Regulator and Rectifier tubes then you're going to have to get a print and start checking voltages.

No idea. I was told the CRT is much newer, and it looks it by how it was working. It's an RCA "Hi-Lite", it has a few GE Compactrons throughout the set, all the HV tubes are still RCA lables, thus I presume original. I can get a stable, blurry picture out of it, so the horizontal output is working.
I have 4 Dentron 6LQ6 tubes that are still strong, the HF amplifier they lived in was still doing good strong power when I used it. I swapped one in, and the HV won't even kick in on these. It has an RCA 6LQ6 in it as is, and it's working fine.
