How to Read a Schematic

When the magazine "Electronics Australia" was still around, they had a section written by a TV repair engineer. Each month, he would go through a repair scenario. The good thing is that he would describe what he was repairing from the actual doing and from the schematic. The explanation is quite good. From this I can correlate the two quite well.

I made the mistake of thinking I can also do some TV repair myself until I realised of the dangerous voltages floating about inside the TV.

This is similar to the what Louis Rossman is doing with his Youtube videos repairing Mac but without the cussing and the attitude.

These days, I doubt if any of these type of magazines are being published any more.

Yep. Unlike the popular belief, it's not the high voltage in the tube, which can be easily discharged, the real danger comes when you need to probe the live circuit.
