[QUOTE="sonnetpete, post: 845928, member: 310216"] Back in the 60's, when I was an apprentice TV engineer, we used a neon screwdriver, (held back to front) to detect if there was EHT present in the valve driven line output stage. If you waved it about near the line output valves (though not too near) and it lit up chances were there was EHT present. If your finger drew an arc it was definitely there!!!......Not really a recommended practice..... [/QUOTE]
