65 years of age have weakened the glue in these but if they come loose
you can glue them back - as long as you don't break off the wires going into the glass.

2-) there is an ION Magnet. On mine, you can slide it off toward the back.
Carl left out step 1A:

To remove the picture tube socket (The thing on the back of the picture tube with the wires coming out):

The picture tube socket is shaped like a donut (or sometimes a half circle) and it is removed by pulling towards the rear of the TV.

Press in with your thumb through the donut-hole as hard as you are pulling out on the socket itself, to prevent breaking the base off the picture tube and ruining the picture tube.

If you use the term "CRT" be sure to indicate that this means the picture tube.
