I have a 6100 neck board thats not working, and theres no continuity between the wire at the connector that plugs in the HV and the pin in the tube socket.. I opened up the plastic socket, the focus pin is a two part deal, and appears broken..just checking to make sure I can do a straight repair on this.

The focus voltage is in the area of 1000v, so any connections must be good and well insulated. Other than that, nothing special.

When you say it's "not working", what do you mean? Without a focus voltage connection, the picture should be all fuzzy and, well, out of focus. But otherwise it should work.

Yeah, that one has a weird bending pin inside the socket. I've seen broken ones before. In the past, I've had luck using solder to repair the break, and the monitor worked afterwards...
