That's frustrating...no real information at all.

Been there many times since 1970. Amazing project.

This is what happens when wiring is done without the proper engine stand.

When will people start taking this seriously? How many failures have to happen?

Transformer fire-likely overheated connections.
Should have tightened them during annual pm. .

We took the tour many years ago, and I was in awe over the condition of the concrete. It looked like it was new, everywhere! :seasix:

First time I saw it, I knew the people that made it had ownership and pride of their jobs..
This was no quikrete project.
