Safety

[Rob]

John,

You bring up a valid and important point about pets and exposed tube electronics which use high voltages. I have two housecats and when I am working on one of my vintage sets in the house, especially one of the floor level 21" vintage color sets I am especially careful not to leave the room even for 5 seconds if the back is off and the set is operating.

That ventilation screen under the chassis you speak of is missing on a couple of my consoles but not operating ones, so no worry, but something that could easily be overlooked, especially if such a set were to be restored and re-sold to another pet lover.
