    In the dim and distant past I had a temp job with a big electronics co. They had shipped a load of CRT monitors from japan only to find on arrival that the screen alignment was out. The fix was to fiddle with the the electron gun adjustment until it was roughly right and then use self adhesive magnets on the actual tube to square off the picture. The downside was that it had to be done while the thing was switched on and with the case off. One day I put my hand in the wrong place and Kzzzzzzzrt! No idea how many volts or amps were involved but it knocked me on my arse and gave me some nice burns on my finger tips where I touched whatever it was I touched.
