Mike,

The EHT won't kill you.  It hurts but it won't kill you.  I also suggest 
giving the flash at least 2 days with no batteries in it before you 
start working on it to make sure there is no power left in it.

If possible check the specs on the ring flash tube to make sure it 
doesn't need a higher voltage than the normal flash tube.  It also needs 
to have as good reaction time if you want to use PTTL and modelling 
mode.  Older tubes can't handle the high speeds needed for these.
