-- Hi All-
My question concerns tbe device that discharges a CRT. I'm planning to work on my Classic and SE/30. I need to do minor things (which is all I'm capable of as you can tell from the nature of this question) like change their PRAM batteries and reseat some cards and at another time perhaps add memory or a card. I have checked the faq and have gotten a copy of Pina's Classic and SE repair. The tool to discharge the CRT looks easy enough to make. The question concerns a tool that I inherited from I don't know where. Since I'm electrically ignorant, I need an opinion. The tool looks like a small ice pick at the tip.. It has a transparent red handle inside of which is a fat looking bulb, like an old flashlight bulb, tube shaped. There is a 2 foot wire coming out of the black (insulation?) material, between the probe and the handle. And probably most important, it says on the handle: CAUTION NOT FOR COMPUTER CIRCUITS OR ABOVE 28V. Sounds like if use this to try and discharge the SE/30's CRT I may wind up winded up. Should I put it away somewhere or is the voltage limitation within the realm of a CRT discharge? Thanks all. dan_A -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
