First discharge the HV several times. If the tube wont
budge it may be rusted in. Remove the separate plastic
part of the socket ( pull up) then the 2 screws holding in the socket
then the cup. Clean up & fix the arc.
Remember that all the HV & wiring is sitting as apx 22KV so
any rewire needs high breakdown wire.

So, just to make sure, I should be able to pull out the tube without unscrewing anything?
Also, any special procedure for removing the cap thing on top of the tube? Is it attached by metal hooks like the anode cap or do I just pop it off?
