The Best Shock Resistant Gloves ??

Man up. Gloves are for sissies.

dude i seriously have never even put my hand in the back of an arcade before, except to adjust the focus on my Smash TV i just bought, and i tell ya. i was scared to death of doing that lol. thought it was gonna shock me just touching the little monitor card thing.
 
static discharges? Do you guys ALWAYS wear an anti static wrist band then? also if so, one with a ground wire clip, or the "wireless ones" Nope. Considering all the boards I've seen with mouse shit, dirt, etc and they still work, I'm not to worried about ESD. Of course, newer boards that are more like computers are probably much more succeptible than the old stuff I normally work on.

and whats a flyback? high voltage transformer mounted on the chassis. That's where you adjusted the focus on your Smash TV.

BTW the jamma board is no where near the monitor i dont think, on my x men at least so i dont think i would brush the monitor at all)

It would be great to see this dedicated TARG floursih once more. its seriousely been sitting for 5 years neglected in my parents basement and ive never had it going ever :-(

Also should a monitor still be discharged before removing a jamma board? Only if it's mounted in such a way as that you may be too close to the tube when getting it out - such as in a cocktail or in a hacked cab.

Cool thanks so much everyone for all the help. As for the smash tv, i guess i might not have adjusted the focus, i adjusted the contrast and the black out knobs. and those knobs were on this like board that had the horizontal and vertical hold on them. It also wasnt bolted to anything just hanging in the cab by the wires?
