Hello guys
I have an old jamma cabinet sitting there
it hasn't been powered on for at least a week & last time it was powered on it wasn't more than 30 minutes.
it's a 19'' inch Philips arcade monitor from the 90's I want to remove it for my new project i have never done something like so....
as i know there might be voltage running still inside.
I want to remove it
it's still bright light burn but Good picture & all but i want to take it out throw it away or sale it i don't know yet but my main worry is
There metal frame with handles to take it out i beleive....
Will i get zap?
How long can a charge hold inside? 2 months?
I beleive the monitor is not imploding protected since it's older..... so it's more dangerous too....
what should i do.,....

You'll be fine. Just remove the wires (video signal and power and ground) unbolt the...well, bolts, and pull. No need to discharge.
Just be careful and don't *drop* the damn thing. Glass isn't fun to clean.
