I finished getting the rig setup and it fits on the chassis just fine. I found a loose HV anode cable and soldered two alligator clips together back-to-back to finish the connection from the cage to the 5AXP4. I wish I had a small metalworking lathe so I could turn a custom connector. This anode wire at the cage end is not bare wired rather, it has a socket on the end just like the HV connector on the RCA chassis. Can't remember where I got it but it must have been from a TV with an unconventional anode HV cage connector or it's an anode extender for powering a CRT further from a chassis. The forked end that connects to the CRT fits firmly in the other end of the wire so a fork terminated anode from a TV's HV output can connect to it giving you another 18" of travel. I think my setup is about as safe as can be on one of these metal CRT TVs.
