Check out these opti pictures

Hi guys.... I just got a customer in and i wanted to show you all what happens to the opti when you mix high voltage inside of the opti

As they say a picture is worth a thousand words. This is what i have been talking about the arch from the rotor burnt straight through the backing plate and arched intot he optical trigger killing the opti. Oh yeah the rotor melted too. This was on a opti with less then 20k on it
