That would be it. Original part H1812, it crosses to SK7333 or ECG/NTE 527A.
It won't fit in the old holders, you'll have to cut and solder it in. Just
make sure you inulate the ends real well. When I couldn't find HV tubing, I
used the casing of the old socket. You'll have to slit it up the side, but
can use two parts offset per side so there isn't a hole through it, and held
on with regular electrical tape.

This stuff is all on:

I've yet to hear of anything failing on a B&W vector other than these high
voltage diodes. At least the Atari models.
