To discharge short out the anode to the bare ground wire. It probably
is bleeding off anyhows. Wont kill you, I got bit once a week for 40 yrs !
Ticking usually from SMPS. Lets say there is a short on the chassis, most
likely the Hoz output transistor. The PS comes up then detects overcurrent.
It turns the PS off then repeats until the short is cleared.
Set looks like a Gold Star A.K.A. LG. At least the CRT is. To find manual go
to FCC.gov, enter the FCC ID number OR type acceptance number.
This will USUALLY cross to the OEM & OEM model ##. Look for a real
manual from the OEM.
BTW since the chassis has almost everything you may try unplugging the yoke.
Do it only as long as you need to see if it clears the short. Also there
may be a B+ jumper on the plug !
Good luck
