Was wondering bout this... Before disconnecting the second anode lead from the CRT, it must be discharged first to avoid doing so with your body (which, by the way, really hurts like hell). Normally there is a healthy arc while discharging it... especially if you do this right after turning off the set.

I'm noticing that there is no arc... no discharge... no nothing when I try discharging the tube... even just seconds after turning the set off. Is this an indicator of something wrong? How else would the charge in the CRT get out?
