[UtVgG] Is this a shorted transistor?

So I'm working on the G08, in the HV section. There are 2 transistors that bolt to the chassis and when I check them, they both read 30K ohms between the case and the chassis. They do this even when they aren't touching the chassis at all. Is this normal? I have always just used the continuity test to check this, but I'm paranoid about this monitor. Is 30K ohms high enough to be called "not a short"? What is the threshold? Sean McLachlan MIS Manager LithoFlexo grafics inc. 801.484.8503
