Some side chatter in another thread got me thinking about the things I did as a kid (mostly in single digit and low double digit years) that could easily have made this post impossible.
One that springs to mind is scavenging a 2000V supply from a CRO and “experimenting” with it. I drove a stake into the ground, and with the other lead I would touch steel wool lying there which would burn. Amother was a lot of random poking around (learning) inside hollow state equipment.
I also learned about TV flyback transformers ”the hard way”.
There was other stuff, and plenty that was much more likely to cause mechanical than electrical damage to burgeoning me.
What sort of shenanigans did you manage to survive?
