"Other circuitry" is a risk too. The field can induce voltages in nearby wiring, so you want to stay away from the amplifier front-ends. I had trouble with this when I was modifying a 500-series Type W plugin to use 6DJ8's instead of 8416's.

Yep,
Gonna mount it on the opposite side of the CRT, full metal plate between
them.
Have a oversize temp transformer there now with no issues.

Before you drill mounting holes, experiment with orientation in case the field gets into the CRT or other circuitry.

To finish this thread the problem ended up being leakage from the CRT
filament winding in the LV transformer.
Seems I didn't "hear" Alberts description of the problem until I got an
email from Ferrous Steinka and the light went on.
I removed the CRT leads from the LV transformer and all the voltages
from the HV transformer came on and stayed on.
I connected a spare transformer I had to the CRT leads and now have an
excellent display on the CRT.
I was able to find a NOS 6.3V transformer with 3KV isolation for $5
that should fit on the bottom of the scope cabinet.
And another TEK scope joins the "herd"
Thanks to everyone who shared their ideas on fixing the problem
