The front bezel is not grounded (that I noticed), so I will try grounding a wire to the chassis and touching the other end to the front to see what I get.

I might see if I can fill in those cracks... perhaps with some silicon caulk. Too bad it's clear instead of grey. I think I can do a neat job with that, and perhaps prevent an episode! Another thought would be to use an expoxy (such as jb weld) to fill the cracks. That's grey, and would likely serve as a good insulator.

Another thought would be to remove the molding and wrap the front lip of the CRT with electric tape (at least a few layers) and then replace the molding.

I'd prefer not to leave it as is (even if it doesn't seem to cause a problem) being that the cracks could get worse over time... increasing the chances of a zap.

As an added precaution, I could also ground the bezel to the chassis from the inside. If leakage did eventually occur, it appears there's a fuse in the HV section, and that would blow if things got hairy.
