| [title] Discharging capacitors | |
| - | [* |
| + | [* icon_caution] Electrolytic capacitors can hold a dangerous charge for months or even years after a device has been powered off, thus, it is always a good safety practice to discharge the capacitors before working on an audio amplifier |
| [* black] Connect one end of an alligator lead to the chassis ground, and the other lead to an 10K ohm resistor | |
| [* black] Identify the power supply capacitors and touch the 10K ohm resistor's open lead to each of it's leads for a few seconds | |

| + | [* black] If you are paranoid, you may check with a voltmeter to ensure that the capacitors are safely discharged |
| [* black] It should now be safe to work on your amplifier's circuit board |
