Warren,  the old RCA BC-5B and  BC-3B   5 and 8 pot consoles had the an air relays wired with 110 VAC on the same tree as all the audio, mike level, line level and speaker level.  Same happened to me many years ago trying to hook up a remote line and I zapped my longnosed pliers across the 110 VAC.took the station off the air as a breaker tripped to the console.
