    One of the worst is when you're working on an EM, and you drop some minor little thing like a nut or a bulb or something... and it lands just right to slide down beside the board on the bottom of the cabinet, then roll under the board so you can't possibly reach it.

    So then you have to start thinking "Should I try to just tilt the cabinet to one side and see if I can get it to roll to the side and grab it with some pliers?"

    or "Maybe I can slide something flat under the board and push it out the other side"

    but eventually you have to take the bolts loose and move the board to get whatever little tiny thing you dropped down in there out...

    The other day I was ordering some stuff from Marco (which I love) and had written down everything I found on a machine that I needed to order. So while I'm doing it, I see something I hadn't thought of like, oh instruction cards and add that to the cart too. So then I go back to the machine, work on it awhile looking for other stuff I might need to order, oh, I need some of those clips (or whatever)... so I go back to add it to the cart off the website, and the cart is empty because I screwed around too long without checking out.

    Damn, now I'll have to redo it all over again. So I go reorder everything I had written down, then add the clips and checkout... then just after I press the checkout button, remember that I forgot to add those cool instruction cards (for $1.50 or whatever) back in

    Quoted from CNKay:

    drop screw again, but this time it rolls under the transformer panel

    Yup, exactly what I was saying too, lol
