Do you have a magnetic focalizer unit handy? The kind that RCA and others used in 1952 and newer sets. If so, try it instead of the original. Also, if the set has the original Philco CRT it has a single magnet ion trap. If you use a different make CRT make sure you have a double magnet ion trap on hand.
