The only time I got shocked working on monitors or tvs was picking up crts that had been replaced off the floor for two or three days and putting the anode connection on my stomach. It wasn't real bad, like a big static spark, but it wakes me up. I saw another guy do the same thing, so I don't feel too bad. The worst I got, so far, was off the case of a TO3 transistor. It was a shiny metal thing and I thought it would be ground potential and put my hand on it. Later I looked in the manual and it had 435 vdc on it. That hurts. I'm a lot more careful now. Scott
