A Brave man indeed!  

Peter, you should discharge the picture tube first.
There is a cable with a big rubber cover that plugs
into the side of the tube. You should pry a big
screwdriver into there, making contact with the metal
connection, and with another big screwdriver, short
that to chassis. There may be a big spark, but the
screwdrivers will not be damaged 8^)  and you will
have discharged the tube (which acts like a big
capacitor).

Don't do this with the power on!
