Hi Refugee,
There is a metal band around the periphery of the CRT faceplate to secure it to the chassis.
Evidently the 6.3 volt version the 6CD6G was redesigned and re-designated as 6CD6GA.

As a precaution to the line output transformer failing when the mains full supply voltage is supplied to the set the windings are presently being warmed up by passing a small current between the R19 top cap connector and the anode connection of the 50CD6G. Winding resistance is about 220 ohms. The power supplier is set to 20 volts, this will give just under 2watts, sufficient to drive out any moisture.
The attachment shows the pegboard back. That awful thing will be replaced with something better.
