Its a shame you didn't take pictures before you glued things back together. At the risk of incurring more damage, could you try to remove the CRT socket connector from the CRT? The round "button" in the center is part of the CRT. Push on this button with your thumb, so it doesn't move, while you pull the donut shaped CRT socket off. That TV might not be as old as you think. I'll try to post a picture, if no one else does, of what the socket and tube base might look like apart.
