Pretty sure it is just a bleeder resistor. At least 200 megohms or so, possibly with a tap on it--for the focus supply and control. If there are NO other leads on it--other than the big top one going to the anode and the screw at the bottom--then it is NOT used for the focus supply...just as a bleeder--to "bleed off" the HV after turn -off of the set.


I KNOW_-that some of the newer 995 sets do NOT use this setup--there is no bleeder and the focus comes from that block behind it--known as the tripler. It does what the name suggests, triples the voltage out of the flyback, and supplies the voltage to the CRT. I have a 995 that does use the bleeder--it works ok--with a good tube too.
