    Any suggestions how to go about discharging the capacitors before checking the gap? ...short of unplughing it and leaving it off for a few days.

    They discharge quickly when unplugged. Give it about 20min and you're good.

    If you unplug it from the wall and then turn the power switch on, should be discharged in seconds. Give it a minute to be safe.
