I checked the DMA Power supply board and the two 4700mfd caps .Caps 
tested OK. I noticed as I powered it on, looking inside in the back, as 
it would do the cycling, I saw an arc from up under the CRT area each 
cycle.
opened the front panel where I could see the bottoms of the CRT necks 
and CRT boards.
The CRT on my right had the neck hanging!
I can see a black arc line around it at the bell where it appears to 
have arced until it burnt through the glass neck!. CRT is toast. Don't 
know what else.
Question:
Can I isolate this bad blue CRT by unplugging it's anode from the block, 
and unplug the CRT board, so I can power the set and see if the other 
two CRTs are OK, and I have HV,etc? What's the safest way?

Will keep posted.
PS: another tech  advised on the DMA power supply (upright one above 
sweep) to just change caps C14113,C14115 (use# 250729), and diodes 
CR19710 and 13 with #234048. High failure rates, tho not my problem here.
