I had a scary one brought to me yesterday. A Peavy PA mixer/amplifier. Someone had done a half-assed job of replacing the six-lug power switch and AC cord. They used a too-small Heyco cable grip, which nearly pinched the cord in half. Adding to that, they patched it in (in a rather haphazard manner) with electrical tape and left grey, crusty solder blobs on the switch. I cut away the bad area of cord with the crimp and splices and re-did all solder joints. I also replaced the Heyco grip with a proper sized piece.
