One I'd like to add:
Never Rejuvenate/Clean and Balance/Restore a CRT with it's face down. All the junk that's blasted travels down through the gun(s) and can short the CRT elements. With the neck parallel to the ground, the junk usually falls to the bottom of the neck and harmlessly away from the gun(s). I've had this painfully ($$) demonstrated on a customer's CRT...
Also, if you are using a B&K 4XX series checker, don't use while your bare knee is in touch with the ground. Shocked the %*!& outta me when I was a teenager and checking some CRT's for a friend. He had about 30 B/W CRTs spread out on a blanket in his back yard and I went about testing each one - I got to one and got between the checker frame and the bare ground - ouch! Worms came up outta the ground.....
Cheers,
