I had planned to ground the outer dag on the CRT, like in any other TV. In one of the posts it looked as though that's what was done originally, but arced between the CRT and boot. It was suggested he remove the ground and that solved the issue. However, it didn't make sense as to why- perhaps I read it wrong. Your explanation makes more sense. If the anode is inside the glass, going to grounded exterior dag, the boot would be grounded on both sides and never build a charge.
