Back in the day, we usta buy (color) rebuilts from a local rebulder in Phoenx. The jugs almost always arced. We had a tool we called the "cattle prod" for clearing arcs. Damned if I can remember what it's called. Some kinda "coil", but not Tesla coil. It was line-operated, and shaped like a very large Dremel tool, with a prod sticking out the end. We would stick the prod to the end of the jug and shoot the juice to it until all the incandescent debris quit flying around inside and stuck somewhere. The treatment was very effective and the jugs gave good service.
Cleanliness would need to be a major objective in any rebuilding endeavor.
Does anybody remember the name of that tool? Looked all over the interweb and can't find it.
