I always just used a 10" screwdriver with a 1/8" flat blade, and a clip lead to GND. Some charge may have been left. I never gave it much thought and always re-discharged a CRT before moving it after being exposed to that little spark a few times.

Maybe a "sciency" person can tell us why the tube won't regain any charge when discharging it with a high resistance rather than a short? I have to agree with opcom, always better to play it safe, that spark hurts! (I'd hate to drop a CRT when pulling away from the anode cap quickly by reflex action!)
