As you can see, the insulation is missing where it goes under the metal tube socket. I don't want to wad this up with electrical tape as was done previously. I will instead make the proper mechanical repairs to the tube cup so that it isn't drooping onto the flyback tire.
However, that doesn't solve the lack of insulation problem. Let's say I salvage some HV wire from an old monitor, etc. What would be the proper way to splice this into the flyback wiring? Obviously solder, but are there proper HV butt connection insulators?
Also not the copper-looking thing inside the shunt tube? It's all distorted looking. I'm sure it doesn't mean much, but it struck me ad odd.

Looks like the plate material on that tube is delaminating. I've seen it happen to 7591's before. It's something to do with the alloy used in that time period.
