Miratel tube color monitor update

I had some time to look some more at this monitor that I got at an estate sale a few months ago that I talked about here:
http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=221482

I found what is probably a major problem with this set, it looks like the focus coil is missing, there is nothing left but the disconnected wires and I found some broken coil pieces scattered around the chassis.
I assume that with a set as unusual as this, it would be impossible to find the service information to know what sort of coil I would need, much less finding and actual coil and knowing how to connect it.
It's too bad, because other then that the set looks to be complete, though there may be more problems that I would only know about if I ever got it to the point where I could turn it on.

Here are some more photos for those interested:

The chassis with all its modules removed:



The spot where the focus coil would have been:



The HV module:



Inside the HV module:



A good amount of wax dripping out of the flyback...another bad sign?

I hope it can be saved, let me know if you want to let it go IF you ever want to. That wax isn't to bad but it definitely got hot. The rest looks new almost. I bet that CRT tests good, the thing don't look to have a million hours.
