Thanks for the move, this forum is probably better suited to it.
I've gone and updated all but one of the posts to now embed smaller versions of the images - the last remaining one I'll have to pull the images from dropbox first as the USB on my phone went south.
Further update on the stray piece of wire I found - it doesn't seem to be missing from anything; all the required connections to the various components inside the HV cage are correct.
When I removed the CRT, there was a cushion between the chassis and CRT support which I suspect was once rubber, but is now rock-hard. Has anyone sourced a replacement for such things before? Looks to be about the size of a standard toilet gasket, might be able to pick up a rubber or neoprene one at the hardware store that would work in a pinch.
