One more thing to check, as Zeno tickled my memory - the tube socket for the Vert tube - check the solder joints closely, and the condition of the socket. The micalex sockets would get hot, dry out and get funky. They had two types - a light tan that would darken to a chocolate brown, and a red one that would get crumbly - the socket pins would then fail at the solder joints. The deflection tubes - HOT, Vert and Damper were all prone, as were some of the 5GH8 sockets, particularly ones at the top of the board.
