Bob, one small nitpick.
The cardboard back has a round opening for the socket of the picture tube to protrude a little bit. There's no cap on it, by the way. The round hole has a quadrant from 3-o'clock to 6-o'clock that's larger diameter. The purpose of this extra width is to allow the socket wires some room to breathe & less likely to be pinched against the neck. Perhaps also to let a repairman remove the socket and test the CRT without removing the back (?). Anyway, the CRT should be oriented so that the socket wires are at 3-6'oclock so that they'll be visible and accessible with the back installed. You have yours at 6-9'o'clock. You should rotate the CRT about 90 degrees left (viewing from rear). You probably have the anode cap straight up (?). Should be straight left instead, nearest the HV cage.
Unless your tube is a rebuild. I wonder if they made an effort to fuse the new gun onto the old bell with a precise angular orientation...question for the masters out there, I certainly don't know.
Anyway I know I'm picking nits. Excellent restoration to this point.
