Funny timing, I also bought a Mac today - an SE/30. Looking forward to fixing it up.

You'll need a case cracker and a tool specifically to de-energise the CRT: that's the killer part.

Yeah it’s good general advice to always discharge the CRT. Although… the flyback transformer on most of these Macs has a bleeder resistor, so I skip it when I’m lazy now.
