AC power lost on one leg

[Rob Robinson]

Yes I can attest to the fact that Don has "tons of expensive" stuff in his rig droooool. And yes he doesn't let the smoke get out of the box. He does however deplete my wallet on an annual basis (usually during and right after Quartzsite). His recommendations are killing me VBG
