Tom, I'm sure you realize that with the Zenith color safety cap failures, it was because the high voltage would soar insainly high, at which point the HV could arc "through" the CRT neck glass to the yoke or convergence poles. But that's not the same thing that happens with sparks between adjacent dag islands or a grounding strap on the outside surface of a b&w CRT.
