1.  After a system is assembled, parts will be left on the bench.

2.  A twenty-dollar power transistor will protect a fifty-cent fuse by
    blowing first.

3.  Sooner or later, you will ground the B+.  

4.  You will ground an RF supply too.  You won't notice it until
    you power up and touch the chassis.

5.  When you have removed all 15 screws from the crystal oven, you will
    find that you have opened the wrong one.

6.  When you go back to assemble it again, you will find three screws
    missing.

7.  The tube substitution handbook is never wrong.  It's supposed to
    be bright cherry red.

8.  Someone will use the same type of connector for power and signal.
    You know what will happen.
