I got the 128k board in today, and I went to test it in the 512k. Standard procedure:

Unscrew handle screws, Battery compartment screw, two screws above the ports. Unplugged the floppy drive. Then I went to unplug the main connector. It was stuck in the connector for whatever reason. So I reached in further, grabbed the connector and pulled.

SMACK. My hand hit the neck of the CRT. It has been unplugged for weeks so I didn't get shocked (do the necks even hold that much voltage?). Looked like nothing was wrong, but upon closer inspection:

Can I just push it back down or will I have to replace the whole CRT?
