I believe that gizmo on the HV cage is a insulated connector. The wire attached to the CRT mounting has a sort of snap like connector that fits into the insulated connector. That is a bit of a reverse of the more common arrangement where the snap is on the wire coming from the HV cage and the connector connects to a small pocket on the side of a glass CRT.
BTW, the CRT mounting hardware has to have a layer of insulation between it and the rest of the TV. It probably is a sheet of plastic that is brittle by now.

It has what looks like rubber that goes around the tube. I've never dealt with this type of Tube before, I was very surprised when I reached in to jiggle a tube, and the picture tube arched to my arm. Considering I've never been around a metal tube is there any different precautions when removing and reinstalling it? I have to remove the tube from the cabinet to remove the safety glass from the cabinet to clean some black goop off.
