Good plan.
One thing I noticed on second read is that you measured the voltage on the output with the tube pulled...you want to remeasure with the tube installed....G1 only goes negative DC through grid-cathode rectification of the drive signal...pull the tube and you won't read negative there no matter what you do.... also the amount of G2 voltage will change depending on the fault...(assuming good G1 drive) high G2 means something in the flyback or later is shorted, low G2 means the damper or something else in the path from the damper B+ input to the h output plate is open (or in one of my sets it meant the width pot was open).
