[Heathkit] DX-100 passed away today...

a VERY common failure in these rigs is arcing across the HV Rectifier 
ceramic sockets. You will see a black carbon track.

I have had TWO of them like this. They will be fine until you start drawing 
a lot of current then POW

After its buried... someone will come dig it up for body parts to make a new 
one.   Then a bolt of high voltage will bring it back to life.  HI H I

More importantly, where is it to be interred?
