Yes, a dead 555 (56?) would be a much happier situation, but --
You could take it to a local TV repair shop. I'm not sure, but weren't PET
monitors modified Zenith TVs? A 70's Zenith TV would be right up their
alley -- the guy working there probably cut his teeth on the family console
as a teenager :) .

You have a schematic? BONUS! Take it along to the shop :) .
BTW, that 10 kV comes out of one of those voltage multipliers mentioned here
lately. Odd coincidence.
