You may get differing opinions but, if it was done well, I do not think it would reduce the value. It is the rarity of the set as a whole that makes it desirable, not a missing piece of original woodwork. If it was done professionally it would probably not even be noticeable. Leaving it alone for now is just fine. No rush. Howard's works well to even out the existing original finish.

Driving all three of the 21AXP22 cathodes with the same luma signal? That set must produce a very cyan picture. Even the cost-cutting RCA CTC-5 super had a resistor network to give the red gun extra oomph.

Looking at the schematic, I noticed T2, a 1:1 filament transformer which only provides filament voltage to V8, AGC Keying/Color Killer. Why a transformer for this one tube? Is it because the cathode (pin 9) is at a +200V potential?

That seems right. The 6AN8 spec reads:
Total DC + Peak 200v |

The first model of the GE PortaColor had a similar transformer in the series filament string for the CRT to lessen the potential difference between the filament and the cathode. The one I had got a heater-to-cathode short anyway. I just removed the resistor which tied the CRT filament to one of the B+ lines and just let the filament float. Worked well until I parted with it.
