Overall I've found more problems with the jumper cables than the soldering though.

Haha, my uncle used to be a TV engineer - I forget for which firm he used to work, Wigfords or something like that???? As a schoolboy in the holidays I'd accomany him on his rounds visiting customer homes with duff TV sets and sometimes VCRs and the like. This was way before 16:9 picture ratios, Sky or even Channel 5!
All credit to him, he used to more often than not fix the fault on site and only rarely had to take it back to the shop for more in depth diagnosis and repair. Fond memories, those were the days.
I doubt you'd find a domestic service engineer who even has a soldering iron on them these days.
Anyway, I've digressed off topic a bit, sorry about that!

I recall the danger element quite vividly. As well as repairing TVs for a living he also had his own thing on the side going. He’d literally come home from work, go to the pub, come home and then tinker about in his garage, or the kitchen, doing TV repairs for friends and family.
Anyway, one Sunday morning we’re all in his kitchen and he’s fiddling with a massive set in a teak cabinet on the counter top. All of a sudden there’s a massive crack and a big pink spark flew across the room towards yours truly - I was about 8 at the time.
I ran out the room and refused to go back in while my uncle was cackling like a witch. I later learned that he’d deliberately shorted a large capacitor with a screwdriver in order to discharge it.
He still remembers it to this day and still cackles like a witch at recalling my reaction. I smile too as I write this. Fond memories even if they were terrifying at the time.
