Re: We are KILLING our HV diodes...?

True enough, but remember that is the problem, we are working on 20 year
old toys...and MANY folks are looking for replacement diodes for their
Asteroids and other B&W vector games...

I would recommend getting into the habit of using some sort of bleeder
resistor on all tubes before removing the anode cap, I do find that some
computer monitors seem to store a charge for a while...

Certainly at our shop that is the new policy.
