    I only keep the power on for trouble shooting. Once I work I turn it off. Too easy to bridge circuits of different voltages with a screw driver or whatever tool you're using. Lower voltage circuits just absolutely hate having higher voltage injected into them. On an EM the consequences might not be quite as tragic as on a SS, but still not good.
