Hi Tech guys, I am just a cabinet maker and want to remodel a old floor console TV cabinet for a new table model 27". My concern is the HV in the CRT, whether or not the bleeder resistor will drain the voltage from the cap or not, so when I remove the old workings from the cabinet. I know very little about this type of electronics. Also if I remember from 30+ years ago when I was in radar school for the military, that the only real sensitive part of the CRT is the yoke. I don't want to pull out the CRT and have it implode. Can anyone help. Diverdan
1) For transport handling, connect a wire first to the chassis, and then with a well insulated tool, connect the other end of that wire to the CRT at the high voltage cap. 2) There is no bleeder resistor; high voltage can exist at the CRT for years, and even after the discharge previously mentioned. 3) Stress on the neck can cause similar damage.
