Ah, yeah that is a great point I didn't consider. I will carefully bend the wires above the glass just enough to get proper routing and no shorts. Thanks!
I'm really curious to see what this CRT shows when I hook it up to my Super Mack when I am done. Even if it is super weak, I will still have learned a lot.
