The first one is similar to one that I did. I had an erector set with a 2 battery motor. Well mom wasn't going to by any more batteries for it. So I decided to hook up a line cord to it and run the motor for free. Well we all know what happened next, BOOM. Blackend the wall socket, blew the fuse that fed a wall clock in the living room. Dad came home and couldn't figure out why the fuse blew. So much for the erector motor. I still have some of that set 50+ years later
