So.. is this at the anode of the HV rectifier? How much actual DC high voltage are you getting at the "second anode", ie., the anode of the CRT itself? It should be around 8 - 10 KV or so.

The ion trap on this set is a weird kind of electromagnet, with wires going underneath the chassis. Never seen one like this before.

Disconnect one end of the coil and check it for continuity. What resistance does it show?
