Hammer Mechanic "Gunsmith"

I would have at least used alumni-black or a sharpie and “refinished” his base for him. Cheap ass gunsmiths nowadays only half ass shit
 
Wow...just wow. And I'm a moron with a tool in my hand but even I wouldn't have done that.

Reminds me of a fire control/avionics tech at Homestead AFB at which we were flying F-4s at the time.

She told me that their first line of repair was to bang on all the black boxes with a rubber mallet to see if that returned the system to operation 😲 😲 😲

Now, in fairness, these boxes were mounted in ATR chassis where the interfacing connector is mounted on the back of the chassis and the box is slid in and when held down supposedly the connectors meet properly.....and vibration and surface oxidation made this often iffy so the rubber mallet was not entirely unreasonable.....but I wonder how much other stuff she broke doing it.

Cheers
