Interesting stuff.
For a dag connection use flat braided wire with a spring to pull things tight.
Anode is too close, cut out a large half moon. Insulate with a
piece of plastic with a channel, get from a 70's era Zenith. Others
may have used them, dont remember. They went on the DGS shield.
Use the large brown single wire anode connector from a Zenith tripler
like a 221-141-**. Very common & the heaviest anode I remember.
We used them for all replacements. PN's are 15-276 & 15-276-01
one has 2 holes for HV & focus divider & the other just one hole.
Most had a screw to put them on.
