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.
