Right you are, but it was a long time ago.  It was a 360, I know.  It could
have been a 40 or 50.   I just remember the column of smoke and how fast the
CE moved.  It must have been drawn by a fan as it was a column about 3 or 4
inches in in diameter just going straight up.  If I remember correctly, it
turned out to be a big resistor.

No such animal; I might believe 360/40 or 370/145.
