I've got a pretty prehistoric Pye TV (1970s vintage I assume) which
has done me proud up to now. However the EHT connector on the back of
the CRT has come off and the clip-on connector has broken - it was
also very rusty. So I could do with a new connector, but not sure
where to get one. Obviously being an ancient Pye spares are rather
difficult for this specific model I would have thought! Would any
modern EHT connector do the job?

BTW I'm in the UK.

AFAIK you can still buy "universal" EHT caps which will probably
suffice.

You would be if it's a Pye. You could solder on a paper clip bent to shape
for now.

Do you ever come across those Pye multiband radios with the huge vertical
dial scale forming the front of the set?
