@AreYouLuckyWoW I have already discharged mine, and luckily it had nothing in it.

@larewwedxhhh19 I am ordering a safeback discharger from Bob roberts to discharge my monitor. I am also ordering a cap kit to help the picture look better

@AreYouLuckyWoW It seems we are in a similar position. While you may have already discharged it, I need to discharge mine. It's been siting for a good half year but I want to be very safe about it.

@funkyironman69 He discharged very well. Many many many arcade collectors do it this way and none have problems. Anyone can do this. I am going to do my first discharge this month and I have been watching videos on how to do it. Many experts recommend this way. It is cheap and it works. If I were to leave it to a professional it would cost too much. Go ahead and waste your money but I am going to spend $12 and do it myself in a safe way.

DO NOT DO THIS!!! Leave it to a professional, these things can arc across air to you.

Those gloves are sexy.

The metal band around the tube minimizes static, it's part of the ground too. In case you didn't know :)

the rubber gloves are almost useless. cleaning gloves are too thin for the high voltages involved and just make work clumsy.
if you are careful and know what you are doing will will not get shocked. i have been dealing with CRT's since i was 10 and worked for the last 5 years as a service tech. never once been shocked by a CRT. nor have i seen any deaths. seen plenty of others shocked.

Adequate gloves are rated according to standards. That kitchen glove is a joke and sure to provide no protection. Not to mention how it would look if you messed up and died wearing a pink glove and cartoon pajama pants.
