19" Porthole Zenith

Hi Carmine could you please help,

I have the same set and model #.
However when I had it shipped the 1B3 rectifier tube socket sitting on top of the little metal cup which in turns sits on top of the doorknob 500mmf/20K cap all came loose and was just lying there when I opened up the flyback cage. Consequently I am not sure just how that rectifier assembly is set up and your rear photo doesn't show enough detail. My question is; from what I can tell in your rear photo it looks like a short wire between the little metal cup just below the tube socket is going off towards flyback? Can you please tell me just what both ends of this wire hooks to it and also if there is some kind of bracket the whole 1B3 assembly sits on? This cap is suppose to ground at the base of the assembly I thought so what is this mystery wire for? My email is [email protected] if could help me with a close up pic of the flyback cage.

Thanks
Stan

I could try to take a better picture of the set, but I suspect that someone with more knowledge of the set than me, will respond first.
