I was tinkering with my CTC-5 tonight (it has some minor but annoying intermittents that I've been trying to trace). Believe me, I've had that chassis out more times than I can count. Never any drama with that HV connection. I've never noticed even the slightest spark, even when it was just powered off prior to be pulling it. I will usually try to touch the lead to something inside the cage before yanking it all the way out.

I've never been bitten by really HV voltage; I think the most was 2kv from a 3" Pilot TV. That was plenty enough!
