do not follow mikes instructions this is a very dangerous shortcut dangerous to you that much current (thousands of volts) can jump and electrocute you also discharging directly to ground like that can also damage the tv Warnings (partial) instructions and helpful links for safer way to discharge a tube can be found at http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_monitors.shtml#discharging

i did some work in a tv shop….
to discharge a tv….
take a plastic handled screwdriver
take a wire and aligator clip one end to the ground(any of the mesh braid or metal of the case) and one end to the shaft of the screwdriver
jab screwdriver under rubber thing on tv tube
if you hear a spark. you discharged it…if not wiggle it around a bit until you do or…it might have been discharged already….
have fun

I did this hack using a toshiba color tv made in 1976, I used a stereo audio input, connecting one channel to the vert, the other to the horz. the effect is a cool wavy ellipse… I did not use a switch, as this was the best looking effect I could make happen, and I did not have one on hand.

my first hack! yeah! but i used a sterio jack, and ran the right channel to the switch, so that you can switch between the wave, and the effect seen in the link in #19…was just thinking, with a 3 way switch, all 3 effects would be possible.

and, well, that would just be nice.

thats my plan, except for the vertical part, im gonna play around and see wat differences a colour tube offers. my last post (19) shows wat can be done with a CRT. its more 3D, shows the difference between a clear or off-pitch note, etc. its just more exciting.

I’d like to see both horizontal and vertical connections from the tv board and the tube brought out to banana plug sockets on the side of the tv. They could even be colour coded. Then you could wire from the output side (tv signal and your stereo jack -> banana sockets) to the tube inputs with a patch panel idea. It leaves room for far more effects and experimentation.

I’d also be tempted to add a small signal amplifier with a few channels and gain for each channel that you could patch in

I did it with an old yellow screen monitor.

a crt monitor would probably work although i cant be certain

very cool, i have an old tv lying around i could use for this

if you want to be really safe take it to a tv repair shop (or computer shop that works on monitors) and get it dicharged, just ask them to do it for some money and then you can be safe while doing this.
