MUCH MORE DANGEROUS is the power line voltage. You need to find out if this set has a "hot chasssis" (connected to one side of the power line). Even if it isn't a hot chassis, powering through an isolation transformer is a good idea.
It's a big jump to work on a TV without having done something simpler like a radio, but it is doable with coaching.
Before starting, you need to obtain a schematic diagram and service information.

Hey, thanks for the reply! I may have the opportunity to be supervised while doing this by a pro, fingers crossed. I do have access to the schematics, and am hoping to procure the service manual soon. It’s available in the print form currently, but I’m searching first for a pdf. But it’ll be a backup.
Thanks for the info, I will be researching this asap!
