C522 is the "other" cap for shading, jail bars etc.

So, I think I figured it out. Q511 seems to be pulling down the 130V on the other side of the flyback winding. I measured the flyback and the windings are spot-on, so I think it's okay.

Going to pull Q511 and see what the fuzz is.

Ok. No. this didn't really change anything for whatever reason.

The transistor was ok, but there was a ceramic disc cap that had gone high ESR across a diode on the other side of the collector. Replacing the disc cap brought back my 130V at the collector, but it didn't seem to make much difference.

Also of note is that the VSIZE and HSIZE pots are close to the end of their travel.
