One thing's for certain, at one point it was glowing. [Linked Image]

I often....."acquire" old buss bars for radio grounding, I'm not sure I want these.

Glowing indeed! Notice that the failure point appears to be where the busbars were joined?

They would have had to been quite hot for some time to turn yellow like that!

Stupid should be painful.
