The flybacks are the weak point and the new old stock ones are all gone so make sure you check and adjust your cathode current. I have a ctc35 in that style cabinet that has an awesome picture too.
Yes, I always check the cathode current and use a dremel tool to cut a hole in the side of the flyback cage and add a fan to be sure it stays cool. I did this to my CTC 38 also and it can be on for hours and fly is barely warm.
