Yes you connect it to a metal lug on one corner of the CRT, although I wouldn't worry if you don't intend to remove the anode cap from the CRT, you can do a lot of repairs without completely removing the analogue board, just ensure you have disconnected from the AC mains before you do any soldering on the joints ;-) Regards Sean. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
