This is a short video to remind y’all to take precautions when working on a CRT TV.

High voltages can build up underneath the anode cap and you need to ensure you discharge the tube in a safe way before you work on it.

In this clip, Steve from RetroTechUSA is discharging a tube live on stream and we see it spark 3 times before the charge was eventually drained.

If you would like more information about how to safely discharge a CRT tube, please watch this classic video from Steve. In fact, this is the video which taught me how to build a discharge tool before he and I had even met. He really is the master of CRT repair.
