It's obviously a colonoscopy image. He said it saved his butt a few times.

Broken (cold) solder joint. Or a colonoscopy, I like that!

This is a cold solder joint on single pin of a Bally display. There were many cold solder joints, but this one was the most photogenic due to the flux showing through the spacing of the broken solder.

I'll save the colonoscopy pics for another post.
