CRT swapping a Compaq Portable 2

My Compaq Portable 2 needs a new screen and thankfully, I've been given a donor machine! Let's dive into why and do the swaparoo.

Disclaimer!
I am NOT an expert, I have genuinely NO idea what I'm doing, and mostly just glue things together and use a lot of Google-fu until stuff works. I've been tinkering with electronics since I was a kid but have no formal training and will probably do things incorrectly. If you learn something from this, that's awesome, but trust me - I'm learning too!
