No, unfortunately replacing the HV lead had no effect. The HV is still about 20% low and for a while it dropped down to only 5 kV. Still not sure what the problem is. Also, I just discovered the sporadic arcing is actually inside the electron gun. Maybe there's a loose bit of metal ?

Yes, I did remember to connect it up
