Greetings,

I once repaired my 4-1000A amp, after a big light show, by replacing the air
exhaust screen with a screen with smaller openings.

The story behind that event.

I flipped on the HV and there was a lightning show in the plate compartment.
After closely inspecting the compartment, I found a very small reminant of
the spider that had decided to take up residence there.

At least it's a different story
