    I believe the picture is of a burn of some sort made into the surface of a table covered with vinyl wood veneer. The burn could be from a cigarette, but given the nature of this blog I am guessing it is from a switch that shorted out

    Something hot like a soldering gun or hot glue.

      Exactly Jeannette! Nice teamwork! Christine got the first part and you brought it home! We were making our own switches using a soldering gun to make the connections!!! Someone, not me, no never me, put the gun down on the table…more than once!!
