Use great care when plugging and unplugging the socket from the tube, the HV pin on the tube sometimes gets corroded and brittle on these because of the high voltage running through it. A little WD-40 rubbed on the pins can make it slide on & off easier.

It does have the phoenolic end cap held in place with two small screws which is how I actually discovered that the HV conncetion was broken, which is more than likely why the TV was acting up and wasn't getting the B+ and HV that it was supposed to be getting.
