| are there bleeder resistors on 1986 SE analog boards? |

just did a dang, fine safe CRT discharge and followed all precautions and instructions, but I heard nothing at all…Machine was on last night.
would make me feel better to hear something happen. |

Yeah you shouldn't hear anything on an SE.
It's the Plus and earlier where you may hear something when you discharge. |

How long after shutting the power off until the resistors drain remaining charge in the CRT? I also didn’t hear anything on my SE but was curious about how long it should take? |

I believe that if the bleeder resistor is working correctly, it should be immediate. However, if it's not, or if it doesn't have one, the CRT can hold a charge for an indeterminate amount of time. That's why the recommendation is to always manually discharge it. |

Got it, thanks! |
