BSQ, what kind of diodes? Selenium or ? I know a lot of sets used selenium rectifiers in that era and they get bad. I don’t know if your set uses those or not. I can’t tell for sure in the pictures. Might check. That 270v feeds both your vertical and video outputs as well as the horizontal. Your 410v boost is low too. Note that this power supply is a voltage doubler circuit.
If I could find the place called "Somewhere", I could find "Anything"
