Well I went ahead and wired in the 523, it works, that is it makes HV and doesn't explode but I'm concerned about how much HV.

Not wanting to damage the CRT I did the the power up with the 2nd anode hooked to my HV probe, but not connected to the CRT, it has 36kv ! Seems a tad high for a 17" set, or even a 25" set.
Of course there's no load on it other than the probe so maybe it's OK, or maybe I have a bad safety cap?

I think I will replace the Safety caps before going any further.
