Your Q1 Red Amp, is running close to saturation and drawing too much current. Try zero biasing it by shorting emitter to base and see if the collector voltage goes toward the B+ source, If it does, the transistor is good and look for problem in the biasing circuit. If it remains low, remove the crt socket and recheck. If it's still low, the transistor is shorted. Gonzalo N.
