I was working on my old color TV that was a transformer less wonder. I
forgot to float my scope and when I hooked up the probe ground... POW!
Vaporized to lead.

        If some of you who are new to electronics ever run across one of
these sets, procede with absolute caution.  They were VERY dangerous with
the chassis being a floating ground and a 50% probability that mains voltage
might exist between it and Earth.
