If the screen is dark and smeary, are you sure you didn't knock the SCREEN pot on or near the line o/p transformer whilst cleaning/moving the chassis? Might be worth marking the current position with tipp ex and moving it back and forth slightly then retrying.

Another good guide that this pot has been moved is if the dusty part of the control is no longer uppermost!
