Been there done that. I used to work for a local computer repair shop
here in Columbus Ohio and one day I happen to be replacing a
deflection board (as I had done many times before) in a Apple 19"
monitor and I forgot to discharge the CRT before unplugging it. I
believe my heart stopped beating for a few seconds. Needless to say
from that day forward, I always remembered to discharge the CRT tube.


It's so easy to forget or overlook something, everyone makes mistakes. This
is why it is always best not to work alone on high voltage electronics or
electrics. That extra person could save your life, as long as all the
engineers know life saving techniques.

I think you will find that Lou Franklin now offers free PDF downloads of
some of his books from his site.
You could also take a look at my two sites below. Both are purely
information sites, all for free.
