15v2000 Help

I have been trying to get the 15v2000 in my Ast. Dlx. Cabaret up and
running. I have another working unit to swap assemblies from.
 
I tried it briefly and got no picture and no glow. I decided to do a cap kit
and solder headers and replace chassis transistors.
 
Tried it last night and the r100 and r101 resistors got smoking hot. HV was
around 25KV.
 
So I swapped the suspect hv unit and deflection boards into my working unit.
they both work fine in the known good unit.
 
So now i have it isolated to the chassis or the tube. The chassis
transistors are not shorted to the chassis. I guess i'll try swapping tubes.
 
Could it be the harness? The Dag connector spring(I moved it back and forth
a bit to break any corrosion)? Can I swap in a 19" Tube to test?
 
Any other ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Bob
