the world looks full of HR-6098 from various vendors.
I just opened a case on ebay, let's see what happens.

I'm always open to modifications, but not when the right fix is so easy
like getting the right part (that's not even scarce) :)

yes, I could get away easily with a resistive partition from another pin.
But what if the mislabeled(?) transformer isn't so close to what it should be?
The TV set is still working, so why should I try my luck?

looks like it's a synchronization signal to display a vertical bar moving
with the electronic memory tuning. I didn't go into much details, but seems
it's not going anywhere else (and it can be removed for old sets without
digital memories).

I know it was. I'm a poor electronic engineer that lives in a no-fix world :)
I could fix most of the old stuff, but that's not something like a real
job nowadays.

much simpler here: as I said, it's the only TV set that fits in the damn
box in the old piece of furniture in my parent's kitchen.
I could never find any LCD that would fit, nor any other CRT.
I would be more than happy if I could recycle this set.

The right replacement is available in tens of online stores. I first let
ebay deal with this mistake (as the seller just said I can't use it and
didn't even want to check another one).
