Hardly. There's probably a rectifier built out of diodes somewhere near
where the 120V comes in. Probably one shorted. BE CAREFUL, YOU CAN EASILY
KILL YOURSELF by touching the anode on the tube.
You are more likely to kill yourself messing around with the rectifier
diodes, especially if the reservoir capacitor is still charged.
