[R-390] 6080 in place of 6802 - RMS ???

You guys have been known to bend Ohm's Law -- while still observing local
codes, of course.  ;-)
Also able to work on live circuits, whereas an engineer risks electrocution
with more than a couple of flashlight batteries.  I suspect it's all in the
shoes.  Either that, or you work with a different kind of 'lectric  --
bigger electrons, the size of basketballs, and more rubbery.  Or no
electrons at all -- "juice".

Naw -- I think it's the same ol'  'lectrons -- but they behave differently
around 'lectricians.  Fer instance, a couple jillion close-knit 'lectrons
come careening out of a wall outlet, up the power cord through the
microswitch into the transformer, round and round they go
..."wheeeeeeeee!!!!"... etc, ...   "Oooooh lookie!  A 6080 where a 6082 is
supposed to be!  Let's trash it, gang!  Yeah (big crowd noises).  Whoaaaa,
wait a minute -- get a load of those shoooooes!!!  Hey, paisan!!  (crowd
cheering sounds).  OK, it's one of our own, gang, let's give him break.
Careful goin' through that filament -- slow down if it gets to hot.  An' put
your snowshoes on, I think they're gonna be some leaky caps up ahead."  "I
wonder if he knows where we can find that Ohm guy so we can fry his keester.
'magine -- tryna' tell us what to do!  Uh oh! -- row harder men -- there's a
drifted-up resistor ahead."

Now, this theory of 'lectric is not quite scientific, true... but it at
least helps to explain why a fix works for one guy, but the next one has no
luck with it at all.  Know what I mean? ;-)

Too tired to run 'n duck -- just hit me...
