We have recently experienced the pleasure of having the power
company's primary cross our into-the-house 110V service. Pop goes
the weasel.

I can clearly identify the equipment that is DOA, including a
VCR, microwave, TV, garage door opener, furnace, lotsa lightbulbs and
plugs, etc...

But what I cannot assess is the damage done to the otherwise seem to
work fine appliances, like the fridge, washer and dryer, stereo, etc^2...

I'd like to understand the affects of what happened. I feel that the
long term impact may be that most of the equipment has aged greatly,
though it still works now. I also fear that repair of the items cannot
restore them to their previously healthy condition.

Could someone help me here? I may need defendable proof of (potential)
damage so that the insurance company will authorize repair / replacement.
So I'm also looking for information that will document the need for
inspections / repairs / replacements. I've discussed the matter with
liscensed electricians, most of whom would have expected a much
greater DOA count.

Please send me mail, as I don't read the news much (at least they
think I don't). US Mail is welcome:

Thanx,
