Alrighty, I'm new to this whole mame cabinet thing and I bought a used Double Dragon II arcade machine. I have read over the FAQs involving discharging and am almost prepared to do it. I've attached some pictures for advice.
1) Make sure the arcade cabinet is unplugged. Unplug the monitor form the board and unplug the monitor form the power supply thing.
2) Attach the alligator clips to the metal fame on the monitor, then place the other end of the clips to a flat head screwdriver. (I'm using a double insulated electrician's screwdriver). Make sure I have my left hand in my pocket, not wearing any jewelery, watches, etc, and that I am on something like a rubber mat.
3) The suction cup thing is underneath the monitor were the clip is to connect the monitor to the board. I place the screwdriver underneath the cup until I hear a crack/see a flash/ or both? I repeat this a couple of times then remove the cup. Then discharge it a couple more times to make sure its safe.
I'm a little nervous trying this for the first time, but does that sound right? Would I be at risk unplugging the monitor's connection to the board or power supply? All help is appreciated.
