Do slip a grounded screwdriver under the rubber cup till it comes in contact with the metal clip that snaps into the hole in the crt. This will short out any residual hv that maybe stored in the hv cap and the crt. This could be 10kv or so. So don't skip this step. It's at a low current so it may not kill you but it will make your light blink and reset your harddrive!!!

Obtw the black stuff on the back of the crt is call aquadag and it provides a ground for the crt, don't rest your hand on it while fooling w/the anode lead.
The clip looks something this: https://www.labguysworld.com/5AXP4_050.JPG

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
