Was installing a recently purchased monitor that would not power up in my Taito cabinet. Grabed a second chasis and did the discharge on the flyback and installed a known good chasis. Game was having some issues and I realized that the ring around the back of the monitor had come loose from it because the rubber banding had broken. Fixed that and the known good chasis worked. Decided to try the other chasis again while moving it into position the chasis arced to the frame of the monitor and scared the bahjezuses out of me. Figured ah must have been a cap and grabbed the board to look at the back of it when whamoo the large 1000 mf cap that arced earlier to the chasis zapped my finger. Hurt like hell but I was glad that it had discharged to the monitor frame earlier or it would have REALLY hurt.
How did I not remember all the caps on the chasis that obviously would have held a charge. I must have been really lucky in the past on my other chasis rebuilds.
