[R-390] LOUTS...

[Rbethman]

Tom and Gang,

LOUTS and the rest WERE indeed VERY funny!

No, I *DON'T* have one of "those" pegboards either!

However, I was just simply pointing out, We are ALL "playing"/tinkering 
with voltages that CAN make our spouses widows.

I can't EVEN remember the number of times over the last 26 years of 
being a "Ham", (Yes - I know I'm still a 56 yr old YOUNGSTER.), that I 
have bypassed interlocks to get inside a piece of equipment to 
troubleshoot it.

There has been the *infrequent* SNAP, ZAP, or POP.

We just don't always pay enough attention to what we are doing.

It is very EASY to get caught off-guard when inside and THOROUGHLY 
engrossed with the specific problem we are working on.

We simply can't maintain this stuff in a completely de-energized 
configuration.  I just would like to keep my "Friends" around a bit longer.

I'll be inside my restoration St. J's R-390A with it lit up, turned on, 
AND exposed SOON enough.  Hopefully the snap, crackle AND pop will NOT 
be heard!
