How 'bout this?

REMOVAL OF KINESCOPE, 21-CS-7815(U), 21-CS-7817(U), Chassis CTC-5, CTC5-A:

Take off the front control knobs by pulling the knobs outward. Remove the side control knobs by pulling the knobs outward. Take off the rear of the receiver. Disconnect the HV Ultor anode connector inside the HV compartment. Remove the yoke plug and unplug the speaker.Remove the plug from the convergence yoke assembly and disconnect the kinescope socket.

The tuner assembly must be removed for removal of the kinescope. Unplug the link cable and power cable from the tuner. Loosen the self-tapping screws holding the volume control bracket and slide the bracket up to the enlarged openings and remove the tuner assembly. Remove the screws holding the tuner bracket and remove the bracket from the receiver.

The main chassis must be out of the cabinet for removal or installation of the Kinescope. Take out the bolts holding the chassis and slide the chassis out from the rear. The kinescope should be installed with the cabinet resting on its face. Lay the cabinet on its face with a heavy pad used to protect the cabinet front.

Remove the blue beam positioning magnet, the purifying magnet assembly and the convergence yoke by sliding them off the kinescope neck. Leave the yoke fastened to the kinescope HV insulator.

Remove the four nuts holding the kinescope mounting brackets to the front mask assembly. Slide each bracket upward, then out under the equalizing magnet projections at the open end. Remove the springs and rubber cushions under the brackets.

Lift the high voltage insulator, with the yoke attached, up and off the kinescope neck. Grasp the flange of the kinescope at the insulator and lift out the mask.

Remove the insulator from around the flange and unclip the anode connector.
