So with Talons help we have the HV at the correct voltage and everything seems to be solid minus this small color defect close to the center that seems to fluctuate depending on what is on screen. Sometimes it isn't present and sometimes it is. It doesn't seem to correlate to the "red" but I can't tell.
I tried to snap a photo of it to show. What are the monitor experts thoughts here?

It almost acts like a possible red gun short to one of the grids, but I'm not up on my monitor weirdness.

Trying to get an AMP plug so we can run the Rejuvinator on it. Tried the HV board in my machine and the issue doesn't appear.

Also the issue is in the center of the monitor. You can almost make a circle, with the red flare coming from the center.
 
Most likely you're driving the red too hard and requires one of the two pots to be turned down. On the deflection board you have 6 pots. Don't remember which two are the reds, but draw a line from corner to corner across the pots so you know you're starting point. Put game in test mode, go to the red color grid and attempt to adjust one of the pots - you'll figure out which two drive the red. I saw this exact same thing on my Amp setup.

Yeah we thought it was the red driving to hard, but even with the red all the way down and missing, the flare is still there.

I'm thinking it's a short on the red gun to grid.. Hopefully I can get over there this sunday with a rejuvinator and at least check for a short.
