 Heh, I can't count how many times I have been shocked, that might explain some things...:P  The worst was from a UHF transmitter final amplifier, 48VDC, 15 amps at full power, it was a combination shock from hell and an RF burn.  Next would have been the pre-CBS Fender Bassman I was repairing, some idiot had replaced the 5881 output tubes with 6L6's, burned up all the grid resistors and, unbeknownst to me at the time, the power supply bleeder resistors.  Those old filter caps still held quite a charge #$%@.

I have all the test equipment too, VTVM, digital multimeters, couple of scopes, frequency counter, RF and audio generators, logic probes/pulsers, network cable tester.  The only things I don't have are a spectrum analyzer and a TDM, wish I had the bucks for those but I don't do as much work as I used to with electronics.  Fun toys :D

Cheers,
