Okay, Bill, you scoff at my worst case scenario, eh? Consider this:

Tony said: "... BOOM! -- half a side of a Black Beauty was embedded in 
the drywall about 6 ft away from the bench..."

Well, what if this happened on a dry winter day while your pet cat was 
sleeping on top of your nearby R-42 speaker? Let's say the capacitor 
"flak" -- on its way to the the wall -- knocks over a can of naptha 
you've been using to degrease dial assembly bushings? And, let's say at 
the same time your cat is startled awake by the explosion and, in a 
panic, leaps off the speaker. And, let's say that his furry tail brushes 
up against the dial glass and a static spark ignites the oozing pool of 
spilled naptha which, in turn, sets your shack's curtains ablaze? Huh? Huh??

Obviously, you don't know my XYL. She actually imagines things like this.
