Discharging CRT anode and capacitors on a VT52 DECscope

   What an idiot
I was.  900 volts with an amp or more of current capacity
 behind it is extremely dangerous.  
 "Self-entertaining" comes to mind :) 
Hmmm...

One time we needed a 600V (or so) supply with a very low noise. We filled 
a suitable metal tube with those 12V batteries that are about the size of 
N cells, all in series. 50 of them in all. The result was a low noise 
600V supply, it was also totally lethal!
