The lead you mention goes to the 'dag earth spring is there another lead connecting the spring to chassis? if not the outer coating will be floating meaning the EHT reservoir capacitor is open circuit which in itself can cause odd effects on the picture...

Mine is also 20" I can't remember what make the tube is or if it is a replacement. It's not a Unitra, I would have remembered that! As far as I know the knobs are the originals, but various styles were used over the years, and they were often replaced due to the nylon splitting and or the knob being lost.

I used to keep a set on the van salvaged from a scrap 950 or 1400 and would replace them as a set.
I wouldn't be too fussy so long as the knobs you have on the set are all the same style
