I used to do some CRT repair.. but not having any schematics.. and with the 
risks of working without an isolation transformer.. I just take my CRTs over 
to Microfix:

They do pretty good work.. although last time I checked with them.. they were 
doing less CRT work just because they would typically have to charge more 
than what the things are to replace new.
