Hey... he's not dead! :applaud:
Either that, or the Grim Reaper hijacked his account...

My uncle.
Did TV repairs for a couple of decades. Has been "struck" by HV a good number of times. Still pretty healthy :)
And I am forever grateful as he was the inspiration to get an electronics education, I admired him TOTALLY when I watched him repair TVs.... funny how things come round :)
He's teaching me convergence here ! :woot
I was touched by the HV a month or two ago. Believe it or not, it happened when I tried to measure HV with a probe ! Don't know what happened (old probe) but I agree, it was not a feeling I have a strong desire for.

I was always told that the injuries you sustain from that kind of shock are more from losing control of your muscles during the shock which could send your hand flying through the neck of the tube or get yourself sliced up on the monitor frame or even embed a screw driver 4 inches into sheet rock as Chad said. At least thats what my grandfather told me. He worked in TV repair for a few years. Whether or not he took a direct shock from the anode I don't know, but knowing him he would do it on purpose just to prove a point....

No. that one only goes to 6000V (6KV). You want want that is at least 30kV. Fluke makes a probe similar that goes to 40kV. that is what you want.

Here are the instructions in the Star Wars manual on removing the monitor:
Seems like the standard procedure you would use on a raster monitor. I thought this wasn't recommended for vector monitors?
