Tektronix 5111 analog scope H.V. faulty

I found the schematics of the vertical-frame version (5111A). But I have a horizontal-rack version and it has a different HV circuit: The secondary of the HV transformer  is connected to two (2) Hv diodes. There is no 3400 volts, so I changed the diodes with BY176 15 kV types.  Maybe the 0.01 uF (5kV) capacitor shorted? On the 5111A pcb I see only one diode and also the transformer is a different type.

Hello!

I would like a picture of both sides of the CRT board.

I have a picture in "my photo's", but how to add in my comment to you?

I 'll first check the HV oscillator primary waveforms when the diodes removed

There is something wrong with the web page of the comment you created.

On these pictures the Diodes are removed between the secondary of the transformer and the pcb.
The diodes were kathode soldered to the transformer.

Which is the wrong voltage -3400 or -3450? High voltage must be measured with a 1000:1 divider, e.g. Fluke 80K-6.

-3200 V varying to -3700 V  has no effect. The +200 Volts is also correct. Same with + and - 30 Volts

In the meantime I did find that  HV circuit in the Type 5111 scope very  different from the D12 te D13 . 
I have the original user technical manual of the D13. And  I have two D13 scopes. One of them( with an HV error)  is now repaired with a 4kV capacitor from the 5111. The second D13 is also working but the trace can't be adjusted . It shows two "thick" traces (3 mm diameter)  However the potmeters  on the deflection pcb (for brightness/focus/astigmatism) are all delivering the right voltages. Then I supposed a ripple on the vertical and horizontal deflection amplifiers, but all voltages are OK and their ripple is under 0.5 % . The HV is  - 3400 Volts measured with HV probe.
Thanks for your response
