You can do a similar thing automatically by connecting an electroytic cap between B+ and the brightness line, if the brightness changes the voltage on the G1 of the CRT. When you turn the set off, the charge in the cap will push the brightness negative as the B+ supply collapses, thus pushing it negative, cutting off the emissions of the CRT cathode. Thus no or greatly reduced spot.
