Yes, I've autopsied a few blown BN-86 baluns in the last 30 years <G>.

Notice the "Current Balun" in the upper right is a different type face
than the rest of the manual. I think someone is playing marketing
games (unless they removed the third winding in the last few years.
The better balun is the BN-4000 which is a "W2DU type" device. I have
not know one of them to fail but I haven't seen any test data on it
either.
