Thanks for the reminder. It's something that has been on my mind and a concern. This danger is shared by some of my other TVs of the same vintage and I intend to check all of the spacers/insulators as well as voltage checks for hot cabinet to ground.
I have another set, a Travler, where the metal bracket that holds the CRT is tied to the cabinet, which concerns me greatly as the metal "collar" that fits around the CRT neck makes contact with the dag coated outside of that tube. There would've been rubber between this bracket collar and the CRT but it is shrunk and petrified.
I bought a roll of fish paper at the local electronics parts place and I plan to use this to insulate any potentially dangerous contact points. We'll see.
