Marshall, Thank you for your insight into the HV topic. I have never thought of a small capacitance (such as the CRT receiving the 25KV) causing as much as one amp to flow for a microsecond or so. This is very interesting. Glad I didn't die from the shocks I got in the early 1970's when HV insulation in TV's was pretty bad (real rubber, complete with cracks).)
