Discharging the CRT's... that thick wire that runs to the anode cap can be disconnected from the flyback. Exactly how I'm not sure, but it does. HV is fairly low, around 9 KV or so. I believe you can discharge the HV to chassis ground without any ill effects. That's how I did it when that Phillips needed a coolant change in the green and blue CRT's.

As for mounting a projector in the TV so as not to deal with the hassle of CRT's and convergence... I have also tried this. You'd need an extremely short throw projector, something capable of making a 60" image from 20 or so inches away. As in, it's not possible with your run of the mill projector.
Maybe some used Epson BrightLinks from school systems? I almost forgot about those. Expensive as hell though.
