first job I had, we had a very well seasoned ee - Frosty. He was feisty. I learned to control my sarcasm around him (almost got punched one day). Turns out he was faster than he looked... lol, anyway, he was trying to trace down some spurious noise on a control board coming off some factory production line. The ground lines were getting in the way, so he removed all of those to isolate the noise....

As he's looking at the scope, he glances over to see insulation dripping off his probes Smile | :) . There goes a 20k oscilloscope... you youngsters, I envy you. You can go out to Amazon and buy for $50 bucks what we had to beg for in the past.

For the record, I'm not judging Frosty. After one year, the union electricians came to love me. I blew up more crap than I could count - they got overtime, and I got the nickname "Sparky".
