ROFLMAO. Arg, 'tis a nice tingle. (Down Periscope - the radio
guy providing power to the system thru his body). I still have
scars from a crt zap, in HS.
Our old family mechanic had a habit of asking you to hand a wrench
or other metallic tool while he was holding a plug wire from a
running car. Not pleasant but hardly lethal...
That's as good as leaving charged capacitors on your work bench,
for the hands-on teacher to, um, "find", when he was checking your
work.
I'd venture a (experienced) guess that a discharge from a high
capacity electrolytic could be more hazardous than a CRT or spark-
plug discharge.
Then there is always the anticipated "event" when purposely reverse
biassing a high capacity electrolytic.
Ahhh, the good ol' days!
