Eric,
I just tried what you suggested and disconnected the lug from the bottom where the white/red wires are connected. When I powered up the set, all I got was some arcing sound from the base of the HV rectifier. I moved things around but each time I got the arcing sound so I put it back together. Still only about 3Kv.
BTW, I used my multimeter to measure the door knob cap. It measured out to 630pf but is listed as a 500pf cap.
