I got the audio section recapped. I was doing some tests and saw the cathode resistor boiling wax, so I stuck my meter on the G1 and saw 18v on one tube and 30v on the other. Suppose to be 0v, so it was a bit high. This completes the recapatitation of this TV, unless I need to go after some mica caps or a paper cap hiding somewhere (like the yoke). So, now to the troubleshooting. I want to get the BK1077 running so I can hopefully isolate the problem(s).
Thanks for the advices MrFixr. I think the tube is secure. If it did fall, it's carpeted and would likely just snap the neck, which I dont want either. Kinda getting hard to find good picture tubes anymore.

If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
