That old tube TV I stored in the garage for backup finally gave up
I used to just grab any old CRT monitor and plug it in, no worries. Now I've got a multimeter I test every secondhand screen with before even turning it on, after one blew a fuse and took out my power strip last Tuesday. Anybody else checking caps and shorts on their vintage finds before powering up?

Honestly never thought about bleeding tubes till now, you changed my mind on that.

Wait, are you just checking caps or also bleeding the tubes after they've been sitting for years?
