That looks like something you work on power lines with. Maybe i should leave it to the pro's . I wacthed Dad do this and he had some type of meter he would use sometime as well. It was most likely something like you posted. I know he always said keep your finger's out of there or it will knock...

Hey folks what is the best way to discharge a tube amp so i dont get the crap bit out of me. I recall my Dad useing a scewdriver that was about a foot long and real thin to short out the caps and across the tubes to the case. I want to clean them up on the inside and clean the tunner's and such...

You mean to tell me i can clean the inside of a cb Raido with soap and water? Things such as simple green and such. Will this hurt the tunners and caps meaters that are inside the Raido. Just want to make sure befor i tear something up. On tube type Amps and Raidos do you pull the tubs or leave...
