Found today at Goodwill
#8

Just had some excitement with the 95! It was working well until I bumped the cord and then, POW! The plug end shorted out and tripped the breaker! Cut the cord down, put on a better end and brought the unit up on the bulbs after resetting the breaker and there is no permanent harm apparent. Even so, I think I'll just replace the whole power cord as I see other spots in it I don't trust. Put me in mind of my 87 highboy when I first got it. Worked well for a week, then the plug end did a fireworks show for me one day. Oddly, that never tripped the breaker on that circuit and it had a perfect looking cord on it. I think the 95 might start my fall "Replace Those Old Cords" program. Icon_smile

No matter where you go, there you are.
