Yes, that would be great! Instead of a brag tape, I could have a "brag wire."

Well, this one WAS working and stopped. I found a blown fuse and hoped
that was the only problem. But, a new fuse also blew. I see a cracked 3K
resistor between a couple sections of the power supply electrolytic. So,
I'll have to replace that and do more digging.

It WAS working!
