One of my first experiences in radio "repair" (well, tinkering, I don't recall repairing much) came at around age 14. I was in my bedroom with a Philco chassis on my desk, plugged in and running. Loktal chassis AC/DC set. I did okay until I rested my bare feet on the electric baseboard heater. Yow! Did it more than once, which proves how sharp I am...
I was playing around with a little handheld GE vacuum from the 40s or so. I decided to see how it did at picking up the crumbs that were on the electric stovetop. Some metal on the vac hit some metal on the stove and POW! Blew the fuse, and the vac hasn't run since. I don't understand what happened exactly.
