I ought to ask for some safety advice before diving into this scope. On my audio/music equipment I am aware of where the high voltage is and where the low voltage is but I have never worked on anything with a CRT. I know how to discharge caps on tube amplifiers but that is where my flirting with danger ends.

If I have to remove the circuit board in my scope for component replacement or even just to lift resistors, are there any precautions I have to take? Is the CRT HV safely contained within it?

Thanks
Dave
