When you disconnected the high voltage input from the splitter, you only isolated from that point on! It did not indicate that the splitter itself was defective. You may have a bad CRT, that's perhaps why replacing the splitter did not solve the problem. You should have taken your troubleshooting a little bit further and reconnected the high voltage input to the splitter again, but this time removed the high voltage outputs to each CRT on at a time to see if it stayed up when you disconnected the potentially bad CRT. Why don't you give that a try?
