Well Andrew has been helping me a ton with this thing. I am really only starting this thread to get some pictures out there since I can't figure out how to put them in a pm, also to get some immediate help if he's not around today.
I have a wg6100 that currently is showing skewed vectors (squiggly lines) and only 1/2 of the screen. I have a 2nd 6100 100% working to help me trouble shoot.
Both of my deflection boards and hv units work flawlessly on one tube. The 2nd tube (which I am discussing here) is the problem. With either defl bd and hv unit.
So I have switched them back and forth 3 or 4 times as I did testing to prove that the issue is with the frame/tube and not the boards.
Previously I had a decent screen but I was missing the top half of the screen. Anyway, I went in and tested all of the transistors (good) tested for continuity between every wire that is connected to anywhere and where it comes out (good), none of the transistors are shorted to the frame. I did have an issue earlier where I was getting no chatter, spot killer off and a blown fuse at F4 in the power brick. May have been a loose ground wire/connection, because that problem has gone away now.
here are some pics. My latest problem is the squiggly lines and now I am missing the bottom half of the screen.
I do have 6 new transistors, I was going to just go in and change them and see what happens.
