Last be sure the HV is in spec. If it runs high it will start arcing
soon again & cause other headaches.

I think the arcing is actually happening where the wires go into the plastic tube socket as shown in a screen shot of the issue occurring. Any tips on how to open it up? The plastic base is riveted onto the metal cage and the top cover of the plastic socket might be glued in. Not sure how to get it off.
Also what in the heck is this bare copper wire that is dangling from the side of the HV box?
