I haven't seen anything about voltage readings on all the tube pins of the vert
output tube, and is the first grid on spec...? any DC getting in there will drive it
too hard, but still may allow some deflection..... And surely cause over current
draw.... Is there a current reading for the cathode...? I don't have a schematic
of this tv, so I'm only guessing at some of the comments here....

Also, on the yoke, I don't think it's the problem, but I see comments about
measuring vert winding, and horiz winding, but did you check for a short
horiz to vert windings....? Same with vert out transformer, Not in windings
but short one winding to ground...? or serious leakage to ground.....

I can't imagine where an open pincushion transistor would cause current draw
loading like that.... You have something on too hard.....
