Paul,
I just remembered that the problem is the buildup of excess
capacitance. The POP is the sudden discharge of the charge which, as
you've noticed, does wonders for computer logic! The fix avoids the
discharge with more insulation. The high voltage wire off the tube, I
think, acts as a capacitor with the ground plate or one of the boards. Of
course, the charge builds up slowly and goes away when you turn off the
monitor.
Hope this helps!
Sincerely,
(Mr.) Gayle Lee Fairless
