That could darn well do it. G2s should be set with contrast normal, brightness minimum, vertical sweep disabled (using service switch if there is one), and set G2 so associated color produces a barely visible horizontal line in a dim room. If G2s achieve that at lower in their rotational range and you crank them up above their correct setpoint you'll lug down your HV, and focus, and probably strain the heck out of the flyback making it heat up.
