Brilliant use of a tube designed for a different purpose. They were used as
the ramp generator for horizontal sweep in oscilloscopes. Likely used in
radars as well.

Ohh, that's the exact signature of a bad elecrolytic cap in the vertical
drive circuit of the monitor. Many monitors of that vintage had bipolar
electrolytic caps in the vertical circuit. These may be hard to source, but
you should be able to find a suitable replacement.
