It's VERY important to be careful inside the Mac

the back of the neck to act as a 'torque amplifier' for this
purpose. Just bumping the board wrong can let all the 'magic
vacuum' out of your CRT.
Geez -- so is that the board I see at the top of the tube in this picture:

I bump that board and the tube will implode?
