These is no glue between the rubber and the glass. There may be between rubber and the mumetal.

In any case three applications of denatured alcohol with 15 minuites
between them freed the sticky rubber pieces up.

Getting the bezel properly straight took four tries.

The tube works fine. I have merely passable purity so far. The static
convergence was far out. With no magnets I've got it a bit better.
Maybe the magnets will do it. One of my magnets was originally bad.
I never found a replacement, so I'm using a steel threaded rod with
a piece of Alnico glued to the outer end.

Examination of the corpse was interesting. It does not have all-white getters.
What getters there are are nice and black except for a very faint 1/4 inch
white halo. But two of them have separated from the glass and are in pieces,
sort of frilly looking. Its possible a piece fell between two electrodes and caused the fatal arc.

Off to dinner and to relax my back.
