I would ground the Anode, and ground the Anode again.

I remember finishing my work on my Raytheon Porthole out in the garage
and preparing to put it back in the cabinet in the house. I discharged the Anode
and went to open the door to the house. Back at the chassis, my concern for
safety wanted me to discharge the Anode once more before I toted the chassis
in the house -- I observed a spark upon grounding the Anode the second time.
That would not have been good thing if I got shocked while carrying the chassis
with the attached 16AP4 CRT. So, I put a aligator clip between the Anode and
Ground while I carried it in the house.

Respect those HVs.
