Fault went away when I put the old tube back. Unfortunately, the old tube has given up the ghost. New tube and starter will arrive sometime this week (tomorrow, Wednesday or Thursday).
Not sure about charging a phone but wished I'd have taken some video of it, I may have a go when the new tube turns up and put in the old tube before putting in the new tube. For comparison, the later incident when I was wearing marigolds reminded me of touching an electric cattle fence...
I used a volt meter to read the voltages by putting one end on the cloth and the other to the back of the microwave which is earthed to a main socket. The cloth was producing or had 80-90v AC going through it. The screw mentioned in my OP I read using same volt meter at again 80 to 90 volts...

Sounds like a seller I bought from. Won the item before Christmas and seller had put an arrival date on early January. Early January came and went, so I emailed the seller who got back to me to say he had forgot to send the item and would do so immediately. I then got an email saying that the...
This site, https://monster6502.com/, describes building a 6502 out of discrete components. Scroll down and they give an example of building an Apple A8X CPU found in the iPad 2 would be 286m square. Wouldn't mind buying the 6502 version.
