Sounds like miles534 was filming an action movie over there with that screwdriver spark show... Glad you made it out without the full light show experience. Some of those old amps store enough juice to really make you jump, even when you know it's coming. That first safe discharge does feel like defusing a tiny bomb in your living room, doesn't it? Just waiting for the pop that never comes is its own kind of victory.

Lose your phone more often.
