Thanks ya bastids.. blew out my tea all over the phone.
I have three tests.
I hit the scope three times with a 20 oz. crowbar.
Immediately after that, I hook it up to a 240 volt plug in the basement and run current through it for 3 minutes.
The final test is baking it at 300 degrees in a toaster oven for 7.5 minutes. I remove it, let it cool and check the turrets.
If it works after my tests, I keep it. Usually however, I return what's left and answer the questions from customer service about what the hell happened.
I stopped dousing them with gasoline and setting them on fire after my wife complained about the smell.
