Discharging a CRT the first time is intimidating.  But you get used to the bang.

I almost got zinged once by the aquadag on a big CRT. I didn't get it, but there was an impressive spark. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com On Sun, Oct 27, 2024 at 9:42 AM Ken Hohhof <khoh...@kwom.com> wrote: Wait, are you referring to wife as Chick?  Or did you mean Chuck?   From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Bill Prince Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2024 11:24 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT 480v   I wear rubber-soled shoes, and gloves, and as long as I keep the hot wire away from other stuff, it seems to work well for me.

Should have clarified that. Not all new circuits. It's an older home with outdated wiring. So I think there were a couple new circuits, but there was plenty of other type of work. The friend was pointing out that the guy was working with live wires in several places. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com     On Sun, Oct 27, 2024 at 7:57?AM Ken Hohhof <khoh...@kwom.com> wrote: If they were totally new circuits and the last connection was at the breaker panel, that might not be as remarkable as it sounds. ---- Original Message ---- From: "Bill Prince" Sent: 10/27/2024 9:45:45 AM To: "AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group" Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT 480v I have a friend who hired an electrician to do a couple of new circuits in his home. According to my friend, the guy did all the wiring bare-handed and without turning anything off.   When I do that kind of thing, I at least wear some gloves. Zipping and zapping is not my favorite thing. -- bp part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com     On Sat, Oct 26, 2024 at 10:13?PM Robert <i...@avantwireless.com> wrote: glad you are still around....
