That bright-dot with a 'halo' means you are fucking-up your tube!
TURN-DOWN THE BRIGHTNESS NOW!!!!!

now, i dont know what test gear you have but you need to check for signals on the X & Y leads from the gameboard to the monitor.

if you have signals on both at the monitor connector then it's definatly he monitor.

check the power-supply and deflection circuits.

Btw. that dot should-not be there! that is what the spot-killer is for.
(killing a static spot)

so that is probably being effected too.
