On sets with tube focus I often disconnect the focus tube heater winding, leave the tube in for appearance, and stick a cheap modern 5KV PIV rated diode in. It reduces load, heat, and stress on the flyback and horizontal system, and improves focus in most cases.
I can give you a part number for a cheap modern diode if you want.

If in the instance you only had a ctc15 fly when your ctc16 fly dies, and you want to adapt to the existing circuit, but this idea seems to make sense as well. Part number? I found this on Mouser
https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...BIClpyBQ%3D%3D which would probably work... Also, I assume you mount the rect somewhere on the fly phenolic?
