Step three -- Prep the CRT for the clean socket.
Now that you've cleaned up the socket, you will want to do the same to the crt so the two will meet cleanly.
Using a wire brush (and or your fingernail) clean off any remaining glue crap that may be on the CRT nect. Some fine sandpaper works for the baked on stuff, just make sure not to scuff up the glass. Wipe everything clean with some ipa and a cloth.
I must stress here NOT TO USE HARD OBJECTS. using things like a screw driver to ship away at the junk on the crt neck is only asking for disaster. One slip can send glass flying in your face, and you looking for medical treatment as well as a new CRT to replace the one you just destoryed.
After cleaning the glass, I would recomend using some fine sandpaper (~300 grit) and gently clean off the wires. Apply light pressure to softly pinch the wire between sandpaper in your fingers (as seen in the pic.) gently pull back a few times to clean off any corrosion on the wires. DO NOT TWIST OR PUSH.
If one of the wires has broken of, carefully wrap a thin piece of 28 to 30 guage wire around the remaining existing wire, and solder it in place. You want the new wire to stick out to make the total length the same as the existing wires.
After this we are nearly ready to put the socket back on.
