Thanks guys for helping me out, sounds like I'm ready to experiment. I will definitely be careful around the sides, thanks for the tip, I could have found that out the hard way.
jr tech, cool that you have a couple of '53's... Did you have to replace all your capacitors in your sets? I look into the back of this thing, and my mind whirls at the ingenuity and complexity involved in these "simple" designs. I can't wait to get a raster, hook up a VCR, and break out the old Lost In Space tapes!
If I power this thing up and then want to take the chassis back out for further reworking, do I have to discharge anything from the hi-voltage area before plucking that wire out of the CRT or is shutting the set down and unplugging good enough for safety?
I got popped once by a capacitor taking apart a TV when I was a teenager, I'll never forget the shock of it all.
