I would be very careful with that. This might be part of the implosion
protection system (that sounds like a rimband to me, but it's not
possible to be sure without seeing the CRT). I wouldn't want to use that CRT!

Why don't you move one of the VT100's CRTs into the VT102 chassis? It'll
fit perfectly, there are no electrical mods either (AFAIK it is the same
type of CRT). The swap is not hard.
