Shows that someone loved them inspite of the a/c's technical reputation
I remember working in the forward cargo bay on a Brit when an inverter - that I'd just replaced - blew up (well, a capacitor in its control box went bang). Did loads of heavy duty electrical work: reg packs on the TRUs (they were in different locations on the military and civilian versions), generator connections on the fire-wall (thick, thin and spring was the washer combination), replacing the batteries (millions of 'em), Phoenix lights; the list goes on. One memorable ghoster spent replacing a torque indicator for one of the engines - one long length of capillary from engine to instrument panel (God help you if you mis-routed it!).
