I've researched how to discharge the tube to safely work on the set but no instructions seem to match my set. All of them say to look for a rubber cap on the tube and push a screwdriver under it with the screwdriver connected to ground. The chassis seems to surround much of the rear of the picture tube so it is hard to find this. Anyone have any experience with these types of sets that can give me some pointers? I was also wondering if there was a safe way to measure voltage from the tube before poking around. I ordered a NOS 19AU4 GTA to replace the dead one.
Sorry for all the questions..I figure I'd rather be safe than sorry
Thanks guys
