After a high school friend of my wife died by "working on his tv", and reading this article, the 27" tv I just got will remain in it's case, and I will modify the WOOD instead.... :embarassed:

I'd be curious to hear the details of this. The only things I can think of that would cause this would be discharging the anode - while it's still plugged in and ON.

What is this cable? It is about 1/4" thick, and is connected to the circuit board/TV somehow as well...is this some sort of ground plane?

If it's metal cable (and not metal shielded with an insulation) wrapped around the tube (and connecting to the aquadag (the black coating on the back of the tube)) this is /very/ important - even if it's a pain, find a way to incorporate it.

It was a couple of years ago, and from what I was told, it was unplugged.....

What if the television has been sitting unplugged for over 6 months or so?? Still have a charge??

Sure. The tube can hold a charge for years. Just discharge it and move on.
