I suggest using a resistor in series with the discharger wire, 1MOhm-10MOhm, 2W or so, otherwise the extreme charge change on the deposited anode inside the tube can cause it to delaminate, ruining the tube.

Thanx for showing. I joined utube cuz of this video.
-
I wouldn't touch even the rubbr cap, just stick the driver under it
-
Wondering same thing, too. And no clear answer from author of the vid??? What about it p1899m??? I would think the cord would have to be plugged into ground to have the frame or chassis properly grounded to dissipate all that voltage, but who would want to work on something plugged into a receptacle? Does the chassis REALLY dissipate the HUGE charge? WOW?

This guy knows his stuff and his music... cheers P- 5 stars.

I just grab a hold of that big red wire with one hand, while touching the chassis with my other hand. The shock is pretty gnarly.
-
Video was very helpful. Worked like a champ. Thanks.
-
Great vid. My old Commodore monitor is starting to go, and I'll probably have to replace some caps, so knowing this is important.
-
You know that are stupid people all over the place, don't forget one important thing, remove the device from the mains before discharge the tube.

Good video but I would never even lay my hand on that suction cub. 20 year old games means that rubber cup is dry and can be cracked. Doesn't take much for 45,000 volts to find a path. :(

I have to take issue with the hand peeling-back of the suction cup. I've discharged monitors dozens (hundreds?) of times and have never had a problem simply slipping a screwdriver underneath the cup. Often they spark when the edge of the suction cup has just barely been penetrated, long before the screwdriver touches the clip -- you don't want that to happen to your hand.

Honestly I can't remember as I made the video some time ago but, I seem so remember saying that I usually do not pull back the anode cap but for the sake of the video and so folks watching could possibly get a better look, I decided to pull it back. If this is misleading to anyone I appologize. I usually just slip the screw driver under without touching the anode cap with my hand at all. Yes you should always use caution when dealing with potential high voltages.
