Yeah, I know those are a royal pain to pull the boards. So, Arran is right, do the best you can. But, I also know what it is like trying to track down a 'new' problem, wondering if something failed or if it was some kind of error, so don't get carried away. From the looks of the screen, you have low B+ to start with, and /or low filament voltage, so start with filter caps in the power supply, then all bets are there will be some type of vertical sweep problems to track down, likely caps and those 'modules'. Anyway, interesting thread. Keep it coming.
