Well, the new wires are soldered on the CRT and sensor safe silicone has been added. Tomorrow I'll assemble the base to the bulb.
I used Dremel Cut-Off wheels by hand to start scratching the glass away. Then I switched to a #11 hobby blade and scraped the glass away. Then I used the hobby knife to scrape the wire clean and then tinned it.
I used some 30awg magnet wire and cleaned off the enamel. I then formed a very small coil of 2 turns. Yup, I'm using the coil method to attach the new wires to the stubs. A little flux and the wire was positioned on the stud and then soldered. A very nice shaped blob of solder told me I had it licked!
I then cleaned the joints with acetone to clean off the flux. A final rinse of alcohol and on went the sensor safe silicone.
