MEGA everything Don said.

Old TV's are lethal. Just to give you an example of what Don is talking about you can estimate the anode voltage of the picture screen at about 1,000 Volts per diagonal inch size.

So for a 27" console TV, you are talking 27,000 volts on that bugger and it will stay there for a year and longer.

This is one area where you want an old hand in the room to show you how to work on this thing.

It's a miracle I'm alive after all the stuff I did with TVs and Radios when I was your age. If you survive it, electricity hurts really bad.
