Thanks John,

Soldered those in nice and smooth used the shrink and closed up the cage.
Refreshed the graphite DAG on the tube. And put the tube back in with a fresh urethane foam gasket on the flange. Gently tightened that up nice. Made a bunch of reference marks on the tube, flanges and side straps..to be sure everything was back to where it was to start. Not to say that that was even right..as this has been worked on for sure over the years.
Even the original 6.8K 1/2W resistor may have been replaced.. it was in some
kind of rubber tubing..and thats what was crispy and bubbled.. for there was a resistor solder in there. I measure is when I cut it out and it was 4.4K...
Tomorrow when I get home I will plug it in..with one hand in my pocket with fingers crossed.
Should I use the variac since I replaced all these parts?
