DAE have a router die on them mid-repair job

I was in my workshop in Austin last Thursday fixing an old stereo receiver from the 70s... had it all opened up and traced the bad capacitor. Then my soldering station just blinked off... the router in the garage tripped the whole circuit and I lost power for 10 minutes. Has anyone else had a whole setup go down like that from a simple breaker trip?

Man that stinks. You put all that time into tracing the bad cap and then zap, everything goes dark. Nothing worse than losing power right when you're in the zone on a repair. At least it was just the breaker and not something fried on the receiver itself. Hope you got it back up and running okay after the lights came back on.

Yeah @jesse_west it came back fine, just had to reset and double check everything.
