I'm finally gonna be able to take that cup out and clean it, then I'll work up the courage to turn it on with the cover off and see what happens. I held off because I couldn't find an alligator clip lead to discharge the CRT, so I had to order a new one. Better than dying.
Since the original power cord is attached to the cabinet and I don't want to rip it out, can I use a standard two-prong power cord, you know,
this one? It does fit, but I can only assume.
