That was a violation of Philo's or Robert's rules. I was being careful
and don't even know what I touched.
The beauty of a colour TV (CRT) is you didn't HAVE to touch
anything. With 6000volts you just had to get CLOSE. 6000 was on B&W
sets - big colour sets can be as high as 25000+

I had a REAL old TV transformer straighten me out real quick - and at
6"I was taller than the basement ceiling height. My hard head drove a
nail (head) up through the linoleum flooring , hitting it on the sharp
end from below.

You had a five inch ceiling height? Sorry to hear that.
