Man that's cool I never worked on the carbon arc machines. I remember having a Xenon lamp weld itself into the holder which was also the cathode connection. All because someone didn't tighten a grub screw which ment that the gap between the thread on the screw in end welded themselves to the nut mount the lamp screwed into. Had to remove the mount just to break the lamp in a dodgy way just to be able to force the threaded end out.

Ooof, I'm flinching just thinking about it.
