In Reply to: Any reason besides safety to keep the lid on,,, posted by popsy on August 21, 2016 at 13:23:05:
Circa early 1960's one of my brothers and I each made a 5 tube AM radio from a kit. The circuit was very common with minor variations. This versions was a table top radio with a plastic case 60's looking case, a volume knob and tuning dial.
One got regular use in the living room. For some reason, I think after replacing a tube or futzing with the trim caps or something, whoever reassembled it left off the fiberboard back. Kinda like the lid in this thread.
One day I went to pick it, reached around the open back instead with my right hand got I gabbed the bottom half of the circuit. I forget if it was wire to wire of if there was a circuit board. It must have been "on" at the. My hand was "glued" to the it my muscle contractions. I yanked my hand off, which wasn't easy. No lasting damage, but it was very painful.
I highly recommend avoiding conditions that would allow this to happen.
Seriously.
SmokeTest--in this case I was almost the source of the smoke!
