the horizontal tube (it has a little "hat" connector with a wire leading into a HV cage) has a metal ring around it, on the chassis. Since it was connected to the HV cage and had that metal attachment to the chassis I didn't want to touch it, even a couple of days later since I dunno what's in the cage (a giant capacitor, with my luck). It's like a metal ring that's bent upward on the sides. I tried prying it up gently with a flat tip screwdriver, but no dice.
also, the picture tube isn't an RCA. it has the 60s Sylvania logo... obviously someone loved this TV enough to retube it. I don't think the tube is weak -or- bad, judging by how bright that horizontal line is. So.. who wants to fix my TV, LOL. I suppose that in order to do a complete and accurate repair I couldn't just ship out the chassis, because you'd have to align the tube and all that. *sigh*. How would you ship an old, heavy beast like mine, anyway?
