Help on creating a capacitor discharge tool
I've been thinking about building a capacitor discharge to repair a TV. All
I want to know is if it's okay to use primary wire instead of regular copper wire. |

Help on creating a capacitor discharge tool
Just use a ceramic resistor accross the main filter,
& some smaller caps in the secondaries. Like 1000 ohms approx, you can use higher, just the higher you go, the longer it takes to discharge caps. Sky. |

I just use a cheap alligator clip lead clipped to a screwdriver, I've heard arguments for using a resistor but in over a decade of working on CRT displays I have yet to have had a problem doing it my way. |

I haven't tried it myself, but I've heard some say they use a conductive foam block that static sensitive ICs come on. They say it works great, with no sparks. |
