| Avoid it if you do not feel comfortable, these things are pretty risky and can kill you if you are not careful, it's the amps that kill, not volts |
| If you want to try this, here is how you do it, but do so '''at your own risk'''(I found out how to do it right 2 YEARS later), however, I DON'T recommend trying it regardless |
| You can make a discharge tool in a much faster way tough, just get a Flathead screwdriver with a rubber handle and a thick alligator clip |
| On the CRT, there will be a spring like structure on it, clip one end of the alligator clip, and one to the end of the screwdriver |
| Put one hand behind your back to prevent a high voltage circuit in your body |
| Stick the screwdriver under the anode of the CRT on the side(this is a rubber cap), and it should make a loud snap if it has a charge, if you do this a few times, the voltage is drained |
| If anyone tries this, know it's VERY dangerous to do, '''this is for informational/ educational purposes only''' |
| I did one, and am pretty comfortable doing it, but results will vary for each person, so it ultimately depends on your comfort level with high voltage, if you do, let it sit for a month or two, and then discharge it |
| When you make the tool, DO NOT cheap out on wire, it's cheap, I got my wire from a dead AT power supply I needed to recycle, and i have enough wire, if not too |

| I have 2 wires on one lead, 2 shorter ones combined and insulated, and i can ground again with that to the aquadaq, should i need it |
