FIXED... Ring crack around collector of Q401, bad C411 (4.7uf/350v) surrounded by power resistors and vertical heat-sinks. +B was stable at 131.5VDC. Anyway, tweaked the CRT, nice picture, I'll let this burn in for a couple of days before releasing it.

You don't say what you checked. Also make sure your B+ is clean to the transistors.
