I had to replace the capacitor in vertical def. output





Hi, I am new to this group but I have a similar problem with my crt
monitor which I intend to have a look at someday. Not being one to enjoy
high voltage electricution however, I would like to get hold of a tool
to discharge the tube before I attempt any wizardry. I know they exist
because i've seen one used before, many years ago.
I believe it has a clip to connect to earth or the cathode, and a probe
to connect to the anode, with a series resistor built in to discharge it
in a controlled manner. What I dont know is what this tool is called, or
where to source one from (although if I knew what it was called a quick
google might suffice). I am in the UK, but anywhere outside the uk that
does international orders will be fine.

thanks in advance,
Mark
