Upon lifting the leg of the motor capacitor, I still have the same symptom of audio buzz and then the breaker blowing after a few seconds. There is no filament glow in the tube neck.

Update 1: Upon inspection of the chassis circuit diagram, the blue disc is R324 22 ohm thermistor for the degauss coil.

Update 2: After seeing the 22-5001 scorched on the chassis, I replaced all 3 on the unit with Zenith replacements. Looking at the HV tripler, is this the original unit or is this a replacement unit that combined the focus divider? It is a SCI 7234 "212-139".

Update 3 (closer to the issue): I checked out Q801, 802, 803, and 804 on the Horizontal Output module and they checked out good and within specifications. I replaced the HO module and removed the screws to the Horizontal Output Transistor and the breaker did not blow. The Filament in the neck is glowing. Seems like its either this transistor or the tripler. Will pull the transistor and check it out.
