Finally got my hands on a high voltage probe for a decent price:

I've done a lot of work on monitors lately, and sure, the Bob Roberts screwdriver discharge tool was nice for most work on raster monitors, but now that I've got my big boy pants on and I'm doing work for other for actual MONEY....I figured I'd better get the right tools for the job. Plus, I have a vector monitor with a bad high voltage diode, and I won't pull the chassis until I can discharge the tube. I need this tool to discharge the tube properly.
A fairly decent price for this one at $24.95. Looks like it goes for over $100 in most places new.
