Screen voltage may not be accurate reading with a meter, but when I connect the lead for screen to CRT board, drops down to about 1.5 volts, disconnected it's about 150 volts. This is with CRT board on or off CRT. -Ed- Jim Myers suspects short in CRT socket, which makes sense. These spark gaps must have a common ground I can disconnect.

CRT short?? Didn't someone mention a way to "blast clear "some types of CRT shorts by a jumper lead from a voltage source within the set over to the CRT base pins (CRT board removed!).
