Hi Greg, No, not ESD... My friend touched the shell on the cable to an external time source (clock ground) and the label (-270VDC). Not sure exactly what he was doing at the time to touch both, but there you are. Bob On Friday, January 28, 2022 at 5:28:27 PM UTC-8 gregebert wrote: > If

If this uses an isolated supply (such as from a wall-wart), you need to touch 2 circuit nodes at different voltages in order to get shocked. Any chance this was from electrostatic discharge (ESD) ? On Friday, January 28, 2022 at 1:26:31 AM UTC-8 Robert L wrote: > *I just remembered one more

*I just remembered one more hazard... again an issue with the conductive black layer coming in contact with various voltages.* There is a small tab at an interior edge of the label plate sticking out toward the tube carrier pcb in the middle where the tube carrier connector is soldered to the

Hi Terry, I guess I could have been more clear... The label plate ink is only *moderately* conductive; black ink on a somewhat flexible white substrate... the label is not FR4 pcb material and there are no metal layers. I have no experience using this material and am just letting you know
