Many years ago when I used to work as an engineer on these machines we used to use an old multimeter lead to discharge the crt which had the advantage of a nice satisfying spark so you knew it was discharged, then later on I can't remember if it came from Apple or not we got a proper tool to do it which was very thick and heavy insulated, also no more sparks so you had to trust that it worked, I believe it just had a large resistor inside to dissipate the energy. I'm sure in these 'safer' times such practices would now be frowned upon ;-) Sean. -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
