TV goosed?

[Uncle Mort]

Don't put your paws inside a TV unless you know what you're doing.

My brother who knows this things (He worked for Marconi/BAE for 40 years and his hobby is restoring WWII radios and transmitters) told me never poke around inside a TV as there are some lethal voltages lurking in the CRT and capacitors.

I know not of a PDA though.

Explanation on this PDA that you speak of would be gratefully received, preferably BEFORE I stick me paws into the back of this wretched machine.

Getting loads of grief from G Jnr, as he's getting sick of having to use my prefered fix, more commonly known as 'Twatting It'.

It is the Post Deflection Anode.... it looks like an HT lead coming out of the side of the tube... because it is an HT lead coming out of the side of the tube...

It can have 10,000V on it long after the telly is switched off like....

How many amps though?

How many amps though?

Can't be many, or the streetlights would go out when Growlers TV comes on.

If I remember rightly, TV's consume aboout 100 Watts, so if all that went into the 10000 Volts (i.e. none into the speakers  ) it would be 100/10000=0.01 Amps.

Doesn't sound like death row to me.

We would never forget you, probably by having you stuffed and stood in the corner of the bar.

Have to clean up the scorch marks though.

Have to clean up the skid marks though.

Thanks for your concern over me wellbeing everyone.  

Meanwhile, it's getting more goosed by the minute.

I'm going to have to resort to lobbing stuff at it soon, as I'm getting well hacked off having to get up[ all the time to TWAT IT!

Think I may have to get an electricity expert man in, as I REALLY don't want to part with my Anna Log  tv in favour of one of these crappy 'After Eight' digi things.

I know. Wasn't 'avin' a stab at you...WAS I ey?
Where have I said that Apey C is a unsympathtic twat ey, WHERE?

Correct. I didn't, so stop yer yellin' at me.

I'm going to ferkle around in the back of it this weekend, and might wiresome new speakers in to sit on top of it like.
Could just be a dodgy solder or multi block connector or summat.

Valve    p'raps?

I'll sort it, no probs.
