I'm making a monitor for my qbert from a old tv. On the ground strap for a 4900 looks like it runs from the ground strap to the neck board then to the frame. is this correct or should it be from the ground strap directly to the frame? on mine theres a hole on the neck board where somebody soldered it on.
 
The "somebody" that soldered it on was Well-Gardner. That's how they did it. The wire is connected to the chassis frame, goes to a corner of the neckboard (soldered), then goes to a wire that stretches across the back of the tube.

I usually cut the wire that goes to the tube when I remove the chassis, then use a wire nut or quick connect to reconnect it when i reinstall it...
 
Make sure the wire goes from the neckboard to the dag wire on the tube...
