Bob-
Thank you for the notes. I do not have a Tesla coil, but I will proceed with the chassis restoration. (The set was apparently restored and working about 20 years ago, but I have not yet pulled it out to see the extent and type of work that was done, other than the HV picture above.) My CRT tester is a B&K 467, and it does have a clean/balance function as well as full-on rejuvenate (which would be a last resort, I am sure). I used the same model of tester many times in my work at airports to get good life out of tired tubes, but they were black-and-white CRTs.
I will post further as I make more progress.
