Now that's funny!!! I'm not letting him near any of my test gear... :) That would be a very good way to learn how to fix these.

Read the late great Jim Williams perspective on fixing stuff.  His college
supervisor told him that anything that broke, he had to fix.  OK - that was
a decent enough challenge.  But then he got into the next level, where he
and a friend would subtly break each other's test gear - then the challenge
was who could fix their stuff the quickest.  Hell of a good education on how
to resurrect broken gear.  And Jim was a classic era Tek fan - everything in
his test lab was from earlier than the mid 70's.
