I also cannot see the filament glow on the 1V2 when in the operation but due to the correct HV I can safely say it is working properly.

What kind of wire did you use to replace the HV Lead with? Would regular Heater Cord Wire work? Because I noticed that my HV lead wire has some sort of coating on it as well (some sort of bluish/green crap covering the end of the HV wire lead going to the HV tube socket.)
Also would a replacement coupling capacitor that was too far above the original capacitor's rating cause my issues I'm having? I'm asking because this TV used a coupling capacitor that was a really funky value of .0039 MFD and I replaced it with a .0047 MFD capacitor and the capacitor was rated at +/- 10% and the value I chose to replace that .0039 MFD Capacitor was more than 10% above the original rated capacitor's rating and I'm wondering if I should of maybe left that .0039 MFD cap in place or replaced it with a .0033 MFD Capacitor (which would of been within 10% of the original specs).
