High Voltage Wire

Or off any old flyback from a 90s color set... Some of the bigger TVs had anode leads up to 3 or 4 feet long.

Also salvaging the lead from a junk modern set will get you a new anode cap too.

I salvaged one, but it wasnt long enough. there isnt really anywhere around here to go digging. The last TV shop here closed in January, and thats where I got the short one. Fortunately my 2nd anode cap looks good, and since it's original, I will probably use it if I can. The big plastic plate cap on the 6bk4 was crumbly the last time I had to repair it. I'm a little worried thats going to fall apart if I try to change it, but it is wired with the same wire as the disintegrating 2nd anode lead, and I think I should probably change the wire on it, too.
