Also work with an already empty bladder...
The worst shock I ever got on a set was from the 600 volt boost that Sony used at one point... It basically grabbed me. I can still feel the burning 20 years later in my hand. I had to push away from the set with my legs, and hit the wall behind me HARD.
I knew the voltage point was there, but was distracted by something going on outside the garage area.
The only other time was working on an RCA chassis with the metal 21AXP CRT. I had one hand in there reaching for the horizontal oscillator tube... I was going to rock the tube in the socket to see if I had found the bad board connection that was causing the drive to blip out for a moment after it got warmed up.... Apparently, I fixed it, but when I moved away from the tube, I felt the hair on my hand stand up, and POW!! I found myself against the wall, and my dad saying, "Are you OK?"
