If the high voltage is drawing too much current, the rectifier tube will often glow purple.
Your problem could be almost anywhere. I would pull and reinsert each tube to see if the purple goes away. That might get you to the circuit. Old components tend to break down over the years and develop leakage at high voltage.
If you get really desperate, I'm over here near Morristown and available most of the time. Parts, tubes, and equipment are here too.
