Did you ever have one of those days???

[Bill Cahill]

When nothing could go right?

Well, I just did. Trying very hard to get two tv's done for a customer this morning, I talked the customer into buying a new picture tube as the old one finally gave out. The, after installing new tube, Set appeared to short out. Variac got most un happy.

Went to other set. Started to fire it up for the first time in 5 years. Was making headway. Was getting a low audio hum, and was starting to hear other circiuts come to life.This set was rebuilt several years back. Well. Then, my variac gave out with a pop, ahd,started arcing.I shut it down. I decided to try tv straight off the line. I turned it on, and transformer gave a grunt, And, heard popping in chassis. Something failed. In order to stay alive, I had to sell a phonograph to save my bank account.

I'm going to bed early. This has been a very bad day......
