Hi all

             I know this is kindof off topic but im in the process of taking 
apart a large screen tv 20+ years old and i was disassembling the flyback 
componets for use to drive a small tc and i noticed on the plug connector to 
the electronic guns on the back of the monitor the wire from the flyback 
seems to have a safty gap that goes to ground has anyone ever seen something 
like this b4?  I was wondering if i should leave it on and incorperate it 
into my tc driver? Any comments suggestions?
