A coil holds no charge. A capacitor does. However a coil's back emf
may belt you if you interrupt its current flow.

If the set is on and you are playing near the CRT you will get zapped
from the CRT and not the coil. If it is off you can get nailed by the 25
KV of the anode capacitance which can be there for days. I got knocked
across the room once by a hand to foot discharge, some people get killed
by it, and I now put my elbow on the chassis so only my arm gets hit, a
big ouch but not dangerous except to your arm and finger nerves.
Always discharge high voltage. I got nailed by a 2,000 volt capacitor on
a microwave that had been off for 3 days, less voltage but a big uF cap..

i still remember grabbing hold of the capacitor on my friend's science
fair project tesla coil when it was off. yahoohooie!! i felt like a
character in a warner brother's cartoon.- Hide quoted text -

Get a loada this. I was succesfully able to drill a pinhole into the
picture end of a 20" cathode tube, thus eVACUating it. I then
carefully broke off the neck, containing the electron guns. Now
realize that this neck is still fully intact and connected to the
motherboard of the TV.
So using a very long set of grilling tongs for gripping hotdogs, with
rubber-gloved left hand, and with my right hand turned on the TV at
the moment Brian Williams is "thanking us all for watching" NBC
nightly news.......
After a brief shower of red, green, and blue sparks and a lot of loud
crackling, Brian Williams' FACE is now permanently etched on my
ceiling! A little trapezoidally stretched, but it is him - of that
I'm certain.
