Back in 2012, I was fixing a tube TV in a basement and the flyback transformer arced out loud enough to make me jump

My old CRT monitor zapped me once while I was trying to clean it. I think I actually levitated off my chair for a second. Do you still have any old electronics that bite back?

Oh man @rosebarnes, my old tube TV still holds a charge like a grudge.

Hah, that's nothing. My old VCR used to shock me every time I tried to rewind a tape, like it was mad about the work. @cameronn62 is right about that grudge thing, they store that anger. I had a stereo amp that would bite through dust covers. You learn to unplug stuff for a week before you even look at it funny.
