Oh, one more thing ... all the Compacts from the SE forward have
bleeder-resistor type flyback transformers so that all the the truly harmful
voltages are discharged automatically on power-down. Of course, it never
hurts to take every precaution. I just wear rubber soled shoes and work on
tables that sit on rubber feet. :-)
I concur that the risk of injury from b/w compact Mac CRTs is often overstated, but for the sake of accuracy, my understanding is early SEs don't have the bleeder resistor while later ones do. Assume the worst with SEs!
