[SBE] Why engineers drink Cola

[Edwin Bukont]

reminds me of site where they used cut off orange extension cords for all the 120 and 240 stuff that was wired through the remote control.  I had an opportunity to ask the former tech why he did that.  his response was he didnt see any problem and he purposely used orange extension cord so the next guy would know what had high voltage!

You laugh, I did a due dilligence on a station for a new owner and found two PA fuses replaced with aluminum tubing. Well, it was only an 8 amp circuit, but I bet the transistors saved that piece of pipe many times. The entire facility was wired with yellow colored jack phone wire, not a shield to be found. It took three of us two days just to document one studio and the transmitter using the touchy-feely tug did it move method. It only took us 1 day to rewire it the right way including remounting all the hardware. Its amazing how a variety of 9451 makes it clean and neat.
