Discharging a VT100 CRT (Bob Bradlee)

[Bob Bradlee]

Not sure how I ended up on the subject line ?

I too was making the same point, it just takes a day or two
for posts to make it through the moderator :(

I admit the first time I discharged a fully charged CRT, I jumped
and dropped the screwdriver when it cracked about the time I started to lift
the rubber cap. Once I knew what to expect it became a game to guess
how big a crack or to control the screwdriver and see how long I could make
it crackle before it went dead. 

PS: neo.rr.com ????
I am here on the west side of Columbus ohio and have no clue where neo is ?
