Did you check the yoke protection fuses for continuity/bad grip? Also,
you can use you scope on the deflection board to see if the signal is
getting through.

Remember that XY monitors are virtually identical to audio amplifiers -
roughly the same drive and frequency response is just a bit higher...

You can run the monitor with the yoke unplugged for example (no load
condition), just be sure to have the driver transistors plugged in.
