TRS80 Model III broken wire puzzle

Hi folks,

My gf brought me back said TRS80 MIII (16K model, no floppies) from her trip
to New Jersey a couple of weeks ago, surprisingly it's a 240V model. Anyway,
it suffered the usual airport baggage handling 'techniques' and the VDU
broke away from its mountings. Fortunately the neck hasn't broken so it
should be salvageable unless there's a hairline crack somewhere I've missed.

Anyway, I've glued everything back in place and it's whole again; however
there's 1 wire that's broken free from *somewhere* on the screen itself but
I can't see where. It's black and goes to a post marked E306 on the VDU
board that's normally screwed to the left hand side of the case. E306 itself
is part of the grounding circuit, so have any of you TRS80 III owners got
the schematics for the VDU circuit?

Thanks in advance,
