Was it on this list awhile back (at least back while we were on the Cornell server) that we had the discussion about always being careful to discharge the flyback capacitor before doing any work on a TV set or computer monitor (and at least one person� confessed to have learned that lesson the hard way . . . )?

�Not me. I learned how to do it when I was tasked with writing a computer maintenance manual many years ago, and so far have never forgotten to do so before sticking my finger in that little hole on the side of the CRT (or anywhere else inside the set for that matter) . . .

<waves> That was me, very first day on the job as a TV repair person. We were picking up a big tube, at least 29 INCH* and my finger slipped right into the hole. WHAM! The person I was working with didn't know about the voltage either, he just stood there and laughed.
I was showed by an older electrician how to play with high voltage. I've had 480 dancing on my finger tips. I was with him unhooking a house from the outside electric, which someone turned on. He twisted his ankle falling from the ladder after getting shocked but was otherwise okay. We took a break and he went back at it.
