Quoted from cottonm4:I never thought about liability issues when you have a game on location. So, I'm guessing if you had a pin catch fire and burn a place down that the insurance company will be fine tooth combing it as it looks for a way out of contract obligations.
Without a jimmied fuse, is it possible for a pin to spontaneously combust? Could a shorted transformer cause a pin to catch fire?
Yes. There are design errors in Williams pins (and others) that could cause a fire. I’m sure all companies have some.
Modern pins are built better with better protection (like MOVs and main fuse inside metal boxes)

Wow.
Quoted from Quench:Heh, if you could just see how thin the four wires actually are.
I presume your work was probably more straight forward like this at BR2 [quoted image]
Lest we not forget the 25mm fuses at F2, F3 and F4 soldered onto the old 1 1/4” fuses! This guy was quite handy!
You gotta give him credit for his dedication to preserve protection of those circuits. A lesser tech would have just used a screw or a bullet.
