I'm starting to work on my Philco 40-180 I got recently, but before I started messing around with the insides, what are the risks? If it's unplugged, am I in the clear? Will anything discharge when I touch it? I know some old tube TVs can still hold a charge even if it's unplugged. Just checking.

Thanks,

Dark

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
