When I worked on CRT TV sets, I had a high voltage accessory
probe like the one in the link.

Thanks. I'll check this out in more detail. Which meter did you
pair it

with?

That's not the exact probe. The one I had fit different meters and
I bought it at the electronic supply house in the mid 1970's. The
meter probe plugged into the back of the HV probe adapter and had
a multiplier that you applied to the meter readings. Inside the
probe was a long replaceable high ohm value carbon resistor. I
used it when working on CRT color TV sets which put out upwards of
30-40kvdc to the anode connection on the CRT. It worked with a
Simpson 260, VTVM or DMM.

Ahh. Thanks for the valuable information. I figured some high ohm
resistors would be in play; much like an electric fence reader, then?
