One more tip, when you are moving your TV, keep this in mind what happened to me.
I was bench testing my Raytheon TV and got it working the way I wanted.
Always being careful, when I pull the power I immediately shorted out the Anode
lead on the CRT. Then I got the cabinet ready for the chassis and went back
to pick up the chassis to install in the cabinet. Something told me to ground that
Anode just to be sure and when I did I noted a spark. I had already shorted it out
once but the charge built back up. There is a name for this phenomenon - can't
recall right now. Imagine how pissed I would be if I had that big old chassis
in my hands, got shocked and dropped the chassis and CRT together.

Be careful and its going to be fun.
