![]() I just need some info with regards to where/what to pay special attention/avoid. I'm taking no chances here, so I'm approaching this thing slowly and carefully I'm not going to split everything apart to salvage components, etc. I suspect that the high voltage stuff to avoid is encapsulated in the grey plastic container to the left? With thick white and red wires coming up from this container, and connecting to the CRT part and the back of the screen (ground?). As far as I can see, this is where the AC is converted to DC. The attached picture shows a part of the CRT (in the foreground, to the right) marked "LIVE PART" on the PCB, and the shield in front of the blue capacitor is marked with a lightning. I have unplugged the device from the mains plug. Capacitors inside can hold some serious charge (thousands of volts). voltage needed to accelerate an electron beam in an oscilloscope CRT or television monitor. I know that one should approach a CRT circuit with caution. The capacitor is then discharged through the flash tube. My intentions are to mess as little as possible with the actual circuit and components, so I'll just build a new frame around it. CRT televisions contain potentially lethal high- voltage capacitors, significant amounts of lead, and glass-walled vacuum tubes that can break violently. Also I would like to repurpose the CRT part of the TV for an arcade machine in the future. ![]() A VHS cassette is stuck in the built-in VHS recorder/player, and I'm going to get it out. ![]()
