Clarification of what I meant:
It's true that there will be HV stored in the tube, and that is whether or not the tube is in use with the beam current loading the HV. In fact, I doubt there's much difference in the danger of stored HV in the CRT, whether being connected or not. Most TVs have no method of bleeding down the HV stored in the tube. That's why in all cases, the person working on the set should ground it out with a clip lead from the dag to a screwdriver when you're done, as I do as a matter of practice in all cases. As far as my reference to "dummy loading" the HV, I mean having the dag grounded will keep the HV from seeking a bad place to discharge into; not regulate it. The regulation of the HV doesn't involve the CRT, so I apologize if I insinuated that it did.
