I am very sure that the diagram does NOT show a line from the crt coating to ground.

But It calls for a 16rp4 crt.

I have a 20" Muntz, where the CRT was necked. I removed the broken CRT and trashcanned it. I don't remember seing a aquadag coating on it. I also remember seeing other Muntz's without it as well.
The tube had a rubber stamping stating: American Television, Chicago,Il.
IIRC, Those CRT's, had a slightly bluish white phosphor, when compared to other sets next to it.

The original crt had american television on it also...But It had to be cheaply made, the phosphor did not even cover the entire front screen area . on the top right side there is a section about one quarter of an inch tall that is uncoated
