Re: Bad monitor discharge instructions

For anyone that remembers the formula (or can find it) for the amount of
current stored in a capacitor, I measured a 13 inch picture tube on
Saturday and came up with a value of 0.001 (102). This was between the
anode cap and the chassis that it was mounted in. The tube was not
connected to anything else.

  So @ 20KV what are we talking about? I left my Nomographs sitting on the
filing cabinet.. somewheres...
