Unless the ground to the outside of the kine is disconnected. Not a good
thing to touch if you are standing on the ledge of a second floor window.

I'm not sure I'd want to test it out this way, but in principle, if the
ground only were disconnected after the set was turned off, there would
be no voltage between it and ground.

True, but when it is run that way and you just turned it off to twist the
yoke . . . . .

HeHeHe... If it's run with the CRT ground disconnected, that's a different
story. :)
