If there is a polarized capacitor in the horizontal

Use caution. Unplug the CRT board, to keep from
burning the CRT. Rono.



hmm, unplug the CRT board?, since it looks like there are
some dangerous idea's being past around! what happens to the
voltage on the anode while you have this CRT board unplugged?
i mean, disconnected the yoke and firering it up don't seem
to be a problem here! i can only assume your going to fire up
the TV with the anode voltage on the CRT while the CRT board
is off?,
i wouldn't want to be the one working in the back of that set
at that time!
