I hate that. Happened to me with a Turbographx CD, which really sucked because I sleep in a big bed with All my retro consoles.

Luckily, they were poisonous or nothing.

most people have inconsiderate parents who sell all their stuff while they are at college

only reason it didn’t happen to me is because I rented a storage unit and kept my shit there while away

Just power it on and enjoy the delicious smelling toasted spider egg incense.

And that's how you die.

A cathode tube can retain a 25,000 volt charge long after it has been turned off.

Also, if you manage to break the CRT's vacuum, the tube will implode and shower you with shards of phosphorous-coated glass.

So discharge it? It’s not that hard. Just don’t fuck with the flyback.

Also

>shower you
Not how physics work, and unless you’re poking around inside the back of a CRT with a sledgehammer it shouldn’t really be an issue.

I have literally never heard of this happening to anyone I knew. Those sound like incredibly shitty parents. I sold my old stuff myself when I wanted to make room.

Nah, I destroyed a CRT to get the screen to use as a lense. Nothing like that happened.
