Wow... Long Subject line...

Anyway, Simple question: First(as usual) the backstory:

I purchased the HO-10 scope with a couple known problems, so I decided to
follow advice from a guy who works on them and not only recap, but
re-resistor the whole item. No problem, simple stuff. However, in so doing,
when I went to remove the CRT tube (3RP1) the base cap pulled off the wires!
It was held very tightly by the socket, and literally pulled off the end:
the adhesive had given up the ghost, and they pulled free of the solder, or
the very ends of the wires came off.

So now I have an unkeyed tube with a bunch of good condition wires, and a
cap to refit.

Looking at the schematic, would it be correct to assume that the only two
wires I could read continuity between would be the heater connections? I
looked over the schematic and found pins 5 & 11 were not used by the tube
itself, and I determined where the gaps between wires were spaced to go to
the pins on either side. I then looked at the line burned into the screen,
and determined orientation, and checked alignment with the cap. It appeared
to be correct, and my thought was that I could confirm by checking
continuity through the heater, as it would be the only place I would find
it. I assembled the cap to the tube after cleaning, fluxing & tinning the
leads, just have to find my Duco cement to glue the base.

Simply put, is my above assumption correct?


Thanks!
Scott
