Yeah, so does mine... The chassis transistors are still in place with the LV2000. The associated capacitor was blown into pieces. Even with the LV2000, if you lose a chassis transistor, it can damage the HV cage components.
They are cheap...

It has the hv cage and a lv2000 low voltage upgrade. Not sure how long ago the last cap kit was.

My Tempest lost the 2N3792 in the low voltage power supply and it took out the corresponding cap in HV cage. Lines looked almost like an EKG. When I removed the cage, C902 was blown apart. Replace C901, C902 and C903.
How long since a cap kit?

P.S. the 6100_faq has info on various problems...

Is the high voltage cage missing?

I have a tempest which is working fine except that the lines shimmer noticeably.
I have adjusted bip / lin / x&Y size and center. Everything looks good but the lines are just not completely stable.
I am guessing something in the HV needs to be adjusted / replaced but I don’t want to just shotgun it.
Suggestions?
David
