I'll submit: LEVERITE... When you see a 19" RCA television, you know it'll have a glued-on yoke and an aluminum degaussing cable, so you should LEVERITE where she sits.

AUminer, I wish Ida seen this post a week ago...

Degaussing cable.
When I cut myself on that tv, I covered the cut with 'degauss 'n cable' tie..

Flyback transformer.
If you don't cut the red wire connected to the suckercup on that crt. When you yank on the degaussing cable....
It will 'Flyback 'n transform yah'
face..

Iodine
I should put some antiseptic on those cuts I got from pulling out 3 tons of scrap steel today...
But who cares.... as 'I'll dine' well tonight......
