Quick update. I reconnected the primary and disconnected the scan coils and can now get a vertical line on the screen. The brightness had to be turned down quite a bit as to not risking a screen burn and there is a response in the line on one channel when a meter probe is inserted in the aerial socket which bodes well for the rest of the set. The resistance across the coils is 28 ohms and is infinite to chassis from both connections. I did disconnect from the the set end not the yoke end for now as I did not want to disturb the yoke. Boost voltage is now about 650v.
