Cleaned up an old Radar frame and started to mount parts in it to save all the mess.

Looking good Adrian
Yes the Focus coil was always a problem to me in 1990 mainly didn't want to wind a new coil or add to what i had .
You would think a round permanent magnet would be a easier fix .
Magnetic Focus
In early television tubes and in some high quality tubes such as tubes for film scanning, the focus lens takes the form of an electro-magnet or permanent magnet producing, over a short region, a magnetic field parallel to the axis of the tube. This magnetic field acts to bend the electron paths towards the axis and by correctly adjusting the strength of the field, the point of focus may be made to occur at the fluorescent screen
Iron wire sounds like it would help i would try it .
