it was trying to run away from the Jag rear axle, didn't make it,
bit of P40, good as new, the rear tramp arm bracket stuck right in, I was a bit annoyed, never know I could run that fast, it fell from about 4 foot,
so it didn't explode
That sort of thing can easily do some damage to your self, you go to lift something that should be heavy and it is un expectedly light, easy way to pull or strain something unexpected.I grabbed my old one at Christmas time and just had the box, the transformer was still sitting on the floor! The bottom had completely worn away!!
Exploded ! I'm no stranger to transformer explosions; witnessed two where they went off like grenades and blown the top off of telephone poles. One was back when I was a kid, and the other on my own property a few years ago when high winds caused a branch from one of our oak trees to come into contact with the transformer. The top third of the pole landed about 30 feet up the fence line and caused a grass fire. We were lucky, and the fire was extinguished before it reached the barn, but the ancient oak wasn't so lucky and never recovered. When you said the 110v Exploded you had me concerned, but I feel relieved now that it was from a physical accident rather than an electrical issue, as during this Pandemic lockdown I have had a similar transformer in the house for domestic use. I don't mind fireworks when I'm rockin'on, but not with my guitars or amps.
do what I did make a plywood lid and a handle off a kitchen unit then it can
