IT'S DONE
I discovered one of the filament wires on the crt broken off near the stem. I made a replacement and the tube looks good. After putting it on the round tube, just as Archie was about to give Meathead the raspberry, the picture bloomed. The HV rectifier (3AW2) was toast. I replaced it with a 3BT2 and now all is well. Here is a pic of good ole Archie.
