pins 3 & 6 8.7vdc
Pins 4 & 5 -20.5vdc
Well 4 & 5 dont look right should be -40vdc So what do you think now?

Pins 2 to 7 should be 6.3 vac of course.
Pins 4 and 5 are the control grid. Without a scope it is hard to guess. But the bias is developed by the grid rectification and only -20vdc implies you are not getting sufficient horizontal drive or else the coupling capacitor is leaky.
Then again, you may not be getting sufficient horizontal drive. A scope would sure help the diagnosis process.
