Colin, there is no voltage on the ion trap but a VERY slight static may be present on the picture shift and scan coil position lever. No more than a 'tick' that you might expect when stroking a pussy cat. Might be an idea to slip on a surgical rubber glove or similar to make your adjustment. That will reduce your stress, understandable if your not used to old tellies. I have over 100 in a box. I can send you a few if you cannot locate any. [Car spares factors, around £3.50 a box of 100] Regards, John.
