I have an old tube amp, and was testing the tubes . I had the cover off and was testing one at a time. I got them all tested and turned it back on, I neglected to put the cover back on and well you know the rest. I bumped the table it was on screwdriver fell in and ZZZZZZZAAAAAPPPP BBBBOOOOMM SSSSMMMOOOKKKEEE. Yanked the pwr cord and let it cool and about 4days of work and several dollars in parts the amp is up and running again. I bet you that I dont do that again

i was going to send it in for repair but decided that shooting it with the AR-15 and M1 was more fun
