My memory isn’t good on this, but 30 years ago I had to wire in a separate filament transformer for the CRT. I don’t recall the symptoms that led me to this fix. I used a junk box filament transformer which as I recall has the high voltage on it.

I picked up a Tek 503 scope recently and decided to get it running. Found only one bad filter cap. But it appears the
HV transformer T620 (pn# 120-199) is bad, all the voltages out of it gradually drop after running for a couple of minutes.
The +500v supply voltage is solid, I changed the 6DQ6 oscillator and the 6BL8 control tube but no change.
