Good luck with the resto. I have a 505 too and it's great looking set designed by Raymond Loewy. The one negative about them is picture darkening as the set heats-up. Mine has the HV cover missing too and likely the reason is to keep the coil cooler. After having mine repaired twice the only sure way to prevent the darkening was to install a small fan atop the HV box blowing down. I can watch my set for a full movie and there's practically no darkening.
