Don't know for monitors, really, but on TVs they were usually on the
main pcb, or on some small pcb linked to the pcb sitting on the CRT
itself (if not even _on_ this one). 

Oh, and keep yer limbs at safe distance from the CRT grounding wire:
20kV+ stings. Badly. As a rule of thumb, if you don't know how to
short-cut it safely, leave it off power for 24 hours before touching.
