Thanks, I just wanted to be sure before I turned it on again. Now the arcing problem suddenly went away after putting in the new HV cup socket and flyback transformer. The new problem is the 6CG3 damper tube started rapidly redplating within just 10-20 seconds of me turning the tv on to test it and I then quickly turned the tv off as soon as I saw this.
No other tubes were showing red-plating or any other signs of trouble. No other symptoms present, I heard the high pitched frequency which sounded normal as all the tube filaments including the CRT glowed. I am pretty sure the horizontal drive is working and just am unsure what is causing there to be so much current suddenly going through the damper now.
I read online that sometimes the yoke can be shorted and cause it. I already replaced all the electrolytics and was careful to make sure they were put in correctly so I highly doubt that was the issue.
