Take the whole thing apart. Clean the cup, socket, wires with 91% alky.
Look for pin holes & carbon traces on the cup. Check the filament winding also. It is at full HV potential & a common place to arc. Last be sure the HV is in spec. If it runs high it will start arcing soon again & cause other headaches. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Also what in the heck is this bare copper wire that is dangling from the side of the HV box? https://imgur.com/a/aD58QCV |

Wire looks like its to dress the wire bundle, yoke wires ?
Top cap should pop off. Cup would need to be drilled off. Do last if needed. Try removing the cover & running it in a blacked out room to see arc. Set has a focus divider, white block behind the cage. Those can crack & arc. Zeno |

There is clearly brown greasy looking crud on the socket.
See if you can clean it up with a swab & 91% alky. Be sure to discharge HV first but the divider probably bleeds it off anyhows. You may want to search e-bay for a NOS HV cup. 73 Zeno LFOD ! |

Will do. Any advice about the metal rivets? Is it avoidable to drill them off or is that they only way if I need to replace the HV cup?

There's several ways to remove rivits such as drilling, grinding the heads off with a Dremel (good for cases where you want to temporarily remove a rivited item), cutting the shaft of the rivit if the item it's securing is gone and it's loose in it's hole. I'd leave the socket attached for cleaning.
