All I can add is, perhaps you can try to do direct video input again at test point B, and hope to get it to lock on, perhaps the horizontal frequency is way off.

I really do not understand the way things happened here when last week the bar issue was first mentioned.

Snip/paste.
“I’m going back at what I did I originally took the old flyback out and put the new one in and all was fine only no video then I thought maybe the fly was defective and put back the old one that is when I reversed 13-14 then put the new one back in again with the mistake on those 2 wires and had the bars but since fixed that and this is what I’m left with low hv.”

“I had mistakenly reversed 13 and 14 on the flyback and that’s where the bars came from I since made it right and the bars are gone so I don’t know if this has something to do with this hv problem”

Why was it not mentioned back then that the FBT was swapped from the new back to the old when the bar issue started?
This just lead to mass confusion and had people looking to the wrong places for the reason for the possible cause.

It's really somewhat a mystery to me why it was swapped after it was shown to be OK with the direct video input done previously, the issue of not being able to get a signal in via the tuner is not related to the FBT, more so the front end, (tuner/IF).

Again, I'm not sure what having that winding hooked up reversed did, but it could not have been very good for the set.

Please be more straightforward about such things to avoid future confusion, had you said that the bars started after you put the old FBT back in, things would have been much more clear.

Remember how I was immediately suspect of the reduced screen width? Something was telling me there was something wrong there.
