Regarding "Performance Television"
The all-time record for solder consumption was probably for the "griplets" - rivets that connected top PCB foil traces to bottom traces.

A variety of intermittent issues were all due to incomplete factory wave soldering.


It was standard protocol to PERFORM this procedure on all the sets coming into the shop. I got it down to 15 minutes after doing what seemed like hundreds of them!
