That would be nice.
I have cobbled together a temporary solution. There was a toy marketed about a decade ago called Supermag it was like legos only you were building with magnets...I eventually found that if I cut one of the small magnets from that toy down it's strength would be reduced enough (and it would fit the plastic mount) that it would be usable in place of the original....It is still much stronger than it should be, but I can at least dial the static convergence in now...

Seems my video fade problem was a bad connection on the AGC tube socket.

I have it back together now (as of last night), and hope my patch job will hold until my next school break week or after graduation. Next time I have the back off I think I need to refresh the H sweep tubes, and fully align the H sweep and color osc, and deal with my convergence kludge if you can find that assembly.

To try to be a bit on topic, one design I never cared for was 'wire wrap terminals'. They are a pain in the but to undo (completely), and unless by some miracle one has the proper tool to create the wrap, it just ends up being redone as a shorter solder joint any way.
