Perhaps they were counting on a smoker's lifetime not being that long...

Does the transformer smoke with the suction cup terminal hooked to the CRT?
Did you try to power the circuit with the HV terminal disconnected from the
CRT too?

I've only tried it with it connected. Should I try it with it out/not-connected? What difference will it make and what should I be looking at when trying this? Cheers.

Shorted CRT, rare but it may happen. You would smoke also the next transformer
in that case.
If you don't know how to safely disconnect the HV cup (and how to safely
test the HV out of the transformer), leave it alone. It can
bite you!

I've had it out and cleaned the cup etc, but didn't think to test it unconnected.
