working on a WG6100 HV

hey all.

 I have all the bits from a WG 6100 to sort out, but i do not have the
tube... there is a problem on the HV and i'd like to work on it and test it
out/fix it, i have heard things in the past about people working on HV's
when they're live and not connected to a tube by putting the anode in a jam
jar (or ceramic cofee mug!) for example... it does sound a bit crazy but its
not unheard of...

 Whats the consensus here, borderline safe/unsafe? should i just try and
find a 19"
tube (i don't have any) and just hook it up so that the hv has a tube to
energise at least? Or
can i wrestle the live anode like the croc hunter catching a large agitated
snake?
