The common solution is to connect a metal probe with an insulated
handle (an 8"x1/4" straightblade cabinet tip screwdriver, frex) through
a 10k resistor to the chassis, and run it up under the boot on each
tube.

But, if you need to be told how to work on HV, as with so many things,
you shouldn't be inside the set.
