I'll let you conduct the test this time. Let us know how it feels.

LOL, I'm not going to do it.

I been shocked enough accidently over my lifetime without deliberately subjecting myself to it. LOL......

I do know wetting your fingers will increase the experience more. When ringing out a phone line you can hold the tip of the receiver in one hand and run the index finger of the other hand down the terminals of the 66 block. When you hit the pair you are looking for you will hear the sound of the tone generator. Sometimes if the air is dry and the skin of the finger is dry you wet the tip of the finger before running it down the 66 block. It works a lot better for finding the toner signal if the signal is weak on the pair you are looking for. The only downside is if you run your wet finger across the terminals on the 66 block of a live phone line that is ringing, it will bite you hard. Sometimes you might feel a slight shock with a dry finger. You definitely will feel it with a wet fingertip.

Best regards,
Jim
