Yes virginia you are a doorknob .... it was the doorknob connecting the tops of the 1x2 tubes , i wasn't sure until i felt the doorknob and it was hot , so i swapped it with the one going to ground and the one at the caps of the 1x2 tubes remained cool , the one now connected to ground was getting hot , replaced the ground one with a ceramic disc cap rated at 15kv and then there was no arcing at all , the only issue that remains now is theres the anode wire where it connects to the pin on the 1x2 , it has a nice field around it , the wire has a couple threads that are loose and they stick up like moe's hair when he is scared , so i just have to insulate that area.
All agree its ok to leave the ceramic in ?
this motivates me , i may yet remove the crt to clean it and the glass
