That's the smart way to do it! That CRT high voltage sure hurts! But beware that
the CRT can act like a capacitor and store charges for a LONG time. I used to take new
CRTS out of the shipping boxs where they had been sitting for a year or more and they
would still bite me! Also most monitors and TVs have a hot chassis and one side of the AC
line is connected directly to the frame. So unplug them before touching it and then ground
a screw driver with a jumper and use it to make sure there are no stored charges
anywhere.
