Good idea. Yes, my generator has a Chroma Off switch, so that would be easy to do.
Gack. I was measuring something else when HV disappeared and the 6CB5 horizontal output tube began to red-plate
I pulled the 6CB5 and it is toast. No spares for that in the house, so I'll have to order a replacement (or two, for good luck).
Meanwhile, I assume it's OK to power up the chassis on the workbench (with yoke and convergence coils connected) with that tube removed . . . .
