I was told a story while at my first CE job in 1976. Somewhere
in New England an engineer who was fired or who was about
to be went to the station overnight (must have been a daytimer).
He popped the voice coils on all the mics and TT cartridges on
a HV power supply. Clear nail polish on all the reel and cart
tape heads as well as on relay contacts in the transmitter.
Black insulators on ATU hardware. Basically a severe case of
sabotage that was not visible to the naked eye.

This has to go back to the early 70's. Don't know anything more.
