What are your Suggestions and Precautions ?
Cautions to be aware of in the HV section(s) without the Picture Tube attached ?

IMHO, you need some type of picture tube to do that, like one of those test setups with one in a box that has leads to connect to the chassis being worked on, or something like that.
