Connecting both sides of a capacitor to thesame terminal, putting high voltage on the fila-ment, drilling through a panel and into a hard-wood floor — elementary. Only GVZ could gethis hands on a blinker socket and wire it into theprimary of the high-voltage circuit. You thinkyouve got troubles. One guy topped me, accidentally left his beam turning all night OME6uy LEPTMIS SEAM TURNIMCr ALU NKaHT AMD COULDNT UNDERSTAMO THE QSB QEPOBTS **B WAS GETTINCx-. and couldnt understand the QSB reports hewas getting. The Handbook I need (and Lrother, so do you)should go something like this: Inside Construction Techniques 1) Never drop pliers on the 866s. You are apt tobend the pliers or melt them in the resulting arc. 2) If you must use a razor blade, wipe the bloodoff the wire. Corrosion, you know. 3) When tacking up 300-ohm line in the atticflatten the thumbtack, not . . YOW! 4) Pick out nonconductors to droi> in the rig,you old butterfingers! 5) Always wait two months before using any dia-grams in radio magazines. That gives the editorstime to sneak in the inevitable correction: Con-nection 6 should have been made to this gimmickinstead of that one. 6) Never dislocate a knee by crouching downworking on the rig. For the sake of my various in-surance records, that one shows up as crouchingdown to change a tire. 7) Never use celluloid coil forms. Maybe youaint got big enough lungs to blow out the flamesin one mighty puff. 8) Dont ever
