Video Info RE: <VV> Does this sound familiar?????

[Harry Jensen]

Hi--

I can confirm that lc routinely hooked up the vacuum cleaners to 220v. I 
watched him do it many times.

Sometimes the circuit breaker would get hot and trip, so he took off the 
cover of the circuit breaker box and put an ice cube on the circuit 
breaker. I about feel over the first time I watched him do it.
