Agreed, Carl. Yes it does.
However, I still stick to my original question: Why don't we see more
damage in 3-500Z's that arced. Why not melted grids, filaments, etc.
Why just bent filaments? Is it because the stock SB-220 linears have the
current limiting resistors in them? I didn't think they did. Wouldn't
an arc do much more damage than just bend the filaments?
