Yeah, I shoulda, woulda, coulda cleaned the HV area. I will next time, I'll tell you that.
Dug up a piece of phenolic and cut out the burnt area. It was pretty big, had to file a 3/16" groove to get rid of all the soot. Then I glued the new piece in on top with the terminal already installed. Thankfully I was able to remove and re-attach the flyback wires without breaking them. Whew! Fired it back up and to my great joy it worked!
Picture is indeed improved. Watched a "Tales of Tomorrow" on it. Pretty good one, actually. Still much improvement needed but it still lives!
Thanks a ton for the help, folks. Once I get a chance to work on it some more I'll have plenty of questions.
