Surgical latex gloves are not what I picture when someone says "rubber gloves" but something more substantial typically used when cleaning in a shape that borders on a rubber gauntlet.
- wkat4242 3y agoI know but not everyone who reads this would be as experienced to know this :) Some people would still think "it's rubber so it doesn't conduct electricity so I'm fine messing with this TV". But yeah CRTs are now so rare that I agree that it's very very unlikely for someone without much knowledge to tinker with them. You have to be really an enthusiast to even still own one let alone try to repair one instead of picking up a nice cheap flatpanel. Personally I'd forgo the gloves (real protective ones are so clumsy it's hard to really do something productive with them) and make sure the caps are fully discharged. Though generally I'd steer clear from this stuff as I know I don't understand it well enough. I came up in electronics during the final years of CRTs so as my knowledge grew they became deprecated and I never really got the full grasp of them.
