It's an unterminated reflection on that bit of wire I pulled out.

Sorry everyone.

Just wait a bit while I solder this DIN plug back on & everything will be fine.

Honest.

DIN plug?

Did you remember to slip the plastic cover onto the wire before doing all the soldering?

I hope he used colour coded or idented wire!

Bain of my life at Ferranti, that! Red wires, hundreds of 'em, all with a little number and enough service length to enable 3 repairs...

Thanks for reminding me now

If it's one of those plastic ones, you can just slice it down the side, clip it over and cover up with electricians tape. No one'll notice.
