This is kinda a uncommon problem but it does happen. The suction cup you describe is called the anode conection , this is where the 25000 to 36000 volts enter the Pix tube. un plug the set, wait a few min. then carefuly remove this lead with out tearing it, scape off as much as the sealent as possible, then notice how this attaches, it will have a metal conection that fit into a hole in the crt, get some pure silicone sealent ( 100% silicone from the old hardware store ) and aplay about a 1/2 inch bead around this hole in the crt, now make sure these conections are together and the meatle thing locks in the hole, the whole projects a mess but you should wind up with the cup full of silicone and some squished around the out side as well. Now let this dry for at least a day, silicone is conductive till it dries. Since this will be messy you might want to do all three and get it over with, the two most inportant things, the metal end must be inside the hole, and the cup must be full of silicone
