[sdiy] Discharging CRT, was: Modular Video?

My wife says, upon hearing the above: "I have no comeback" :)

Related note: I've been following the crt discharge thread with some
interest. My 26" TV has a hissing noise on it's audio, and I've been
considering putting a cap on the speaker leads to get rid of it. Any good
suggestions, both as to safety and as to cap values/wiring ideas?

I *definitely* will use a long stick with a resistor wired to it if I open
this puppy up...hehe, my wife has no comeback for that, either!
