I work on solid state stuff all day long.
12-48 volts leads to complacency.
Lack of rest can also cost you.
NEVER work on boatanchor radios
when you're tired or distracted!
It's so easy to get in the habit of just
grabbing stuff when it's only got 12 volts on it.
Like checking to see if that resistor is getting hot.
500 volts HURTS. BAD.
Damn lucky to still be breathing.
I got away with a burn, bruises from
falling over and a knot on my head.
Pure, God-given dumb luck.
Don't be stupid like me.
Stop. Think. Go SLOW.
Stay Alive.
