I'm working on a very similar project right now. It uses a 9" portable black and white CRT.

The high voltage capacitors should have a bleeder capacitor across them. This is designed to discharge them after 5 minutes or so of the monitor being off. It's common practice to intentionally discharge them just to be safe. Connect an alligator clip wire to a screwdriver. Clip it to the metal near the front of the tube, then slide the screwdriver under the suction cup TOUCHING ONLY THE PLASTIC HANDLE. That was a pain in the ass to do all the time so I verified the bleeder resistor was working properly and put a neon lamp across it to tell me when things were safe.
