I suspect this will be nearly the last post on this mammoth thread - I want to take the PET apart to be able to clean the monitor board and to be able to de-rust and respray the case.

I am vaguely aware that poking at CRTs even while switched off may not be a good idea. I have just turned the PET off; is it easiest for me to wait until everything is discharged or is there something I should do to discharge things?

The PET is not plugged into any 240V socket right now.

Thanks.

Colin.
