Bruce in alaska I have never seen anyone successful at pumping the "Magic Smoke" back into any electronic component or cabinet, however many have tried in vain....(c; "Magic Smoke" is much more impressive in transmitters over 10 KW, don't you agree? Larry POWER IS OUR FRIEND! Had a Gates 15Kw FM take a dump, from over the hill Power Tubes going flat at 2AM in the snow. Back of the Cabinet was outside building with the front inside. When I arrived, with the consulting engineer, we found "Smoking Holes in the snow" where the final parts had been thrown, and melted down thru the snow. This was a NON-Profit, noncommercial, that used handmedown finals from the local Tv Station Modulator, and when they went south they did it in an "Exlosive" fashion. It took us 6 hours to rebuild all the "Plumbing" and get back on the air with the next set of "Overtime Tubes". One of my many "Broadcast Stories" from when I was a kid.
