I stopped in with the local graybeard and showed him the schematics, plus
told him the testing that I'd done. His best guess was that the NPN
transistor that controls the red beam has failed. This is the transistor
that's near the inductor and 4.7k resistor on the CRT board.

I'm going to test it this evening (or tomorrow morning if it's too late) and
report back.
