I blew the circuit breaker for the entire upstairs of my house in 1978, playing around in the backside of a working 1929 RCA Victor R-32 console.  Icon_e_biggrin  That was the first and last time I ever got walloped to that degree. Something in me changed that day, as I made a resolve to never let that happen again, and that little incident may be the reason you all are graced with my presence here in this Phorum today!   Icon_e_surprised
