good point


Really?

What matters is the energy stored.

There is enough stored on the CRT to kill or at least do serious harm.

Calling it static charge doesn't make it any safer. Static charge can kill,
it depends how quickly the charge is transferred (the current).


Which is the whole reason for discharging the CRT (multiple times)
before working on it.

Did you read the entire thread? Or just the one post?

rest of irrelevant information snipped).
