Great find! it is nice to get an easy one once in a while!

"There's an interesting metal hoop under the HV rectifier tube. I wonder what that's for?"

If it is connected to the high voltage, I suspect that it serves as a (anti) Corona Ring, to reduce the possibility of corona and arcs between the sharp points under the tube socket (such as cut off wires and socket pins) and the chassis.
