I have a comment regarding the Sony service manual for the
CPD-200GS.
On page 2-2 it recommends shorting the anode and the anode cap to
chassis ground or aquadag AFTER removing the anode cap! What's more
there's a diagram that indicates one should NOT slide a screwdriver
under the rubber cap.
Sony's been making CRTs for a long time so it seems strange they
would
recommend a dangerous procedure like that. Any cracks or pinholes
in
the rubber and you could wind up getting quite a jolt.
It does seem strange.
Perhaps they were worried about scratching the CRT? The glass is
relatively
thin in that area.....
