Disconnecting CRT from powerboard — #3

Could you post a pic? Your description is a bit confusing. The yoke is not connected to the suction-cup thingumabob. Rather, it's the assembly that surrounds the neck of the crt (h…

If the US government states you need to overwrite a HD with 1's for so many passes, there is a good reason for it. I would asume the head of the drives reads a few magnetic particl…
