How many people have left the skin on their fingers on a HOT 6L6?
Is it the Ranger I (1614's) or Ranger II (7027's) that have B+ on a pin,
that when 6L6's are substituted, the B+ appears on the outside metal
plate of the tube?
Ask me how I know... {{{{BZZZZZT}}}}
But, that wasn't nothing compared to the 'thrill' I got one night, while
talking to John/WA5BXO on 75m one night when I got across roughly 1kVDC.
Mostly went through my right thumb... but I held the 'securely
grounded' D-104 in the left hand...
NOT fun!
Nowadays, I don't let -me-, let alone anyone else, get behind my rig
while it's on the air.
