Isolation transformer

It's good to visit a nut house now and again. Keeps life in perspective. I was an altar boy at masses at the Catholic nuthouse/old-folks-home in Altoona, PA as a child. A good experience. Humbling.

Phil has good ideas, and is worth listening to, if you can handle the bluntness. He's just a bit testy, that's all; I would hardly classify him as crazy. I will always disagree with a notion to keep someone silent, regardless of their point of view. Now, if one should start to really shout and overwhelm the signal on the channel, ie. suck up far more than their share of the bandwidth, then f*ck 'em, that's what kill files are for!

My $0.02; nothing more, nothing less. All drinks the next hour are on me!

Discharge it. Take a wooden-handled awl and strap a copper braid to it (the metal part, for those who have a hard time following). Ground the braid, and touch the tip of the awl to the anode of the CRT (while firmly grasping only the wooden bit of the awl). It'll thrill the grandchildren and make the set a bit safer for work.

I use a screwdriver.

But, LEAVE IT THERE. It's amazing to watch the volts rebound when you take off the short - the glass itself gets charged, somewhat like an electret, and it takes a significant amount of time for that charge to bleed off, given that glass is an insulator.

Be Safe! Rich

An isolation transformer will still kill you if you get across both sides of it. But you can grab one or other ends with out being killed. Also you can touch earth and the transformer with getting a shock.

I guess he's just a loudmouth moron. I wondered what makes him tick. Must be some personality disorder that would make someone constantly try to upset everyone. I wonder why he posts here. Some sort of inadequacy? jack
