That site has excellent information, with the exception of the stuff about the discharge tool. High voltage will simply jump around the resistor. That's why true high voltage resistors are physically long. They have to be. Any ordinary resistor will act as if it were a short, as far as the crt discharge is concerned. The good news: It doesn't matter. You don't need a resistor to discharge the crt. And unless you are specifically replacing the crt or the flyback transformer, you don't even need to discharge the crt. -- Prof. Thomas H.
