Default Mystery component in Sam's PhotoFact

You should trust David's reponse to your question..... likely a spark gap.
This is not just a JVC thing. Many brands and models use them andin
particular on the grids of the CRTs where HV potenetial can do lots of
component and circuitry damage upstream.
And, by the way, what is wrong with an educated guess anyway???

Spark gap. These are often part of the tube socket itself.

Thanks for replying. Have you worked on JVC TV's or have seen the
symbol before, or are you making an educated guess ?

The reason I ask is that there's no other such symbol on the other CRT
terminals in the schematic. I know in the past, Sam's has had two
arrows facing each other as the symbol for a spark gap. If you can
supply a reference book or web page, that would be great.
