If I were to write up a vector repair document that involved coffee, I would probably start off by saying Coffee is hot, dangerous and even LETHAL!!! That's because somewhere out there is some idiot that will manage to find a way to send himself to the hospital because he didn't properly discharge his monitor and he'll have a lawyer. On a more Vector note, I remember a friend about 15 years ago who didn't discharge a later model G08, (one that could be considered reliable), and had the anode hit the chasis as he was carrying the monitor from the Tac Scan to the bench. I'm guessing the anode got loose when he was pulling the monitor from the convert a cab.He gets juiced, drops the monitor, and breaks the tube which had next to no burn... I always discharge them. Enough stupid stuff can happen on it's own without me encouraging it by not draining the HV...
