Actually no I've never been shocked before. Been repairing CRT TV's for 10+ years, never been shocked once.
Because I knew early on that CRT's pack a nasty punch, so I just leave the wire connected and work with the chassis inside the set... or desolder the flyback from the board. Since that's not an option I'll work around it. Pain in the ass, but it won't leave me lying on the floor twitching...
Okay very first diode I clipped reads as a dead short in both directions. I think I've found the problem. I'll have to put this on hold until I can spare the cash to order some diodes. Unless I can substitute some from a junked TV chassis. Problem is while I know how to read resistors and capacitors, or can look them up easily enough, I have no idea how diodes are rated and what ratings matter...
Like I know you can replace a capacitor with one rated for a higher voltage so long as the capacitance is the same. You can replace resistors with higher wattage ones so long as the resistance is the same. What about diodes?
