Some of the CTC203 RCA's get an arc from a pinhole in the fly over to
ground.
Beleive it or not, I've found arc points by slowly breathing over the
suspected area (like when you try to fog a mirror with a breath). The
resulting hiss, corona,etc locates it...
So does a 25KV arc up your left nostril.
That's gotta leave a mark...
