once again you're right, aeallison.. and ,my bad, bi-polars can be a problem too.
I never saw many problems with tantalum caps.. but that may just have been
my luck of the draw.

cwk9.. none of the stored capacitive charges can kill you..

I've been zapped by the charge of the storage off the crt (yes, it acts as a cap)
and the worst damage is caused by when your elbow hits something as a reaction
to getting hit... 18-30kv.. but it don't have any sustained current flow.

as a precaution.. stick a long screwdriver under the hi-voltage lead cap to the crt
and discharge to chasis.
