Just got back from doing one.  You'll find that by removing and replacing
the crt modules the set may work properly---and it may work properly for
months.  Apparently some crts (primarily Hitachi) had some sort of coating
on the crt pins that causes leakage.  I used jewelry silver cleaner today as
another tech had tried this one 3 previous times.  Applied it with a tooth
brush then micro washed (alcohol) the cleaner away then air blew it dry.
Gotta make its good and dry.
