I have a Wells Gardner 19V2000 that the HV diode connectors are gone. Someone had soldered the diode to the wires and put some short of rubber tubing over it. That burnt up. I was told there was someone on here that repairs these. I can fix it but I can't find any parts that will replace the original ones. Any help would be great.

What side is it burnt up on past the diode to the anode of the tube or before the diode between the flyback? Or is it burned on both ends? I've heard if people crimping wire holder holders to the diode on both ends and adding a dab of solder to it.
That's the part.
If you can solder, crimp, and use shrink tubing you can fix it yourself.
If you post some pictures people can provide you more assistance.
 
^^ Take note. Heat shrink is only rated at 600V. You need to replace the boots with appropriate silicon tubing. Search KLOV for the correct answers/details.

Similarly, the springs should remain and those be soldered to the HV diode.
