The capacitance between the inside and outside coatings of the CRT, is what filters the high voltage. The coatings serving as capacitor plates and the glass of the CRT as the insulator. This is why newer TVs with aquadag don't need doorknob capacitors to filter the high voltage. It's also why the aquadag needs to be grounded.
