If you absolutely have to run it with no picture tube attached, and I can't think of
any reason where that is the only option, I would attache the HV wire to a hv probe
like a voltage probe, and tape it off and put it inside a bicycle tube or similar rubber
protection boot.
That way you have a load of some kind, you don't want that voltage spike
reflecting back onto the primary of the HVT.

Bicycle tubes are conductive. Well, at 10kV and up they're not good at insulating, under 250v they're fine. Just letting everyone know.

Concrete is conductive too!
