[NJARC] 3RP1 CR tube/Heathkit HO-10 Monitor Scope

[w2wiq1 at juno.com]

HI ALL:
HERE IS A TECHNIQUE I HAVE USED FOR MORE THAN 70 YEARS TO REMOVE CRT  TUBE SOCKETS AND TUBE BASES.FOR CRT TUBES I USE A SCREWDRIVER WITH ABOUT A 1/4" WIDE BLADE AND HOLD IT AGAINST THE TUBE BASE KEY WHILE GENTLY ROCKING AND PULLIMG THE SOCKET. TUBE EQUIPMENT I  PUT PRESSURE ON THE KEY USING THE SCREWDRIVER AND GENTLY ROCKING THE TUBE BASE AND USING A LITTLE PULLING AS ROCKING.. VOILA!NO MORE TUBES WITHOUT BASES.
HOPE THIS TIP IS USEFULL IN THE FUTURE.

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
