DavidAlfa:
Really? OMG. I remember opening on of these with about 10-12. Felt the shock all they way up to the shoulder!

p.larner:
anything thats high voltage and is anywhere near a cap i view with suspicion and keep clear of!.

I once touched the wrong place in my 37inch CRT TV while it was on and I was tuning a pot.  A jolt went down my arm like I never experienced before.  I had a numbing burning nerve pain along the length of my arm for an entire year.  I'm lucky to be alive...

Nusa:
The bigger the tube the more dangerous the charge is. 40" is around the largest that was ever in consumer use. Those weighed about 300 pounds, which meant they were treated like an appliance for transportation and installation.

p.larner:
deffo wouldnt want to piss on its anode cap !.
