(I am in TN, so yes we have days in the upper 90's.) I would appreciate any advice or warnings concerning this operation.

The second big challenge is that the plastic frame for the convergence coils (and magnets) (looks like a 3-leaf clover) is busted in two places, so the coils are kinda ski-wacky. Suggestions for repair? I am guessing something like JBWeld. Or by some miracle are these available? What do I know?

Thanks HUGELY

The set must have the original CRT. The CRT is RCA sourced, but it was numbered 21FK instead of 21FJ. Why?
