Re: victor 885 parts

Very good photo. I have suspected this condition on many occasions; as Al says it is very likely the leading cause of Victor failure.

The moral of this story is: don't make chips and metal dust around the electrical system. You may think you've cleaned it up afterwards, but that's actually somewhere between extremely difficult and totally impossible.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
