Just how recently would recently be?

That, frankly, is a matter of dispute. The *correct* answer is to know
how to discharge the anode voltage, have the appropriate tools to do so
and to measure the result to confirm success, and to perform the
procedures properly. (Hint: If you don't know how, find somebody who
does.) The service manual from whatever CRT-based device you're messing
with should have proper instructions. And if you don't have the service
manual, what in heck are you doing in there anyway?

Thanks,
Tom
