And a simple reading of tthe a oral history shows that it it was a simple wiring error caused by confusion between US and Australian systems.
Your use of 'explosion' is a little bit exaggerated. He does use the term 'blew up', but imo it is figurative, not literal, given what he says before that. It was also 3 months before launch - hardly last ast minute.
The rest of his history is very interesting. People who don't understand how the TV signal got to Earth and then to their TVs would do well to read it.

so HOW did this facilitate a hoax ?
remember it was a weekend, and for some reason, we weren’t allowed to work there. I don’t know if it was because it was Sunday or a Saturday, or we had a day off. Whatever it was, we were off and came in the next Monday morning. We came in, and I was in charge, and they said, “Dick, turn on the converter.” I turned it on and that smoke came flying out of it. Relays were flapping all over the place. I turned it off, but it was too late. It blew up about $100,000 worth of equipment. We’re three months before launch and we’re trying to figure out what happened.

whats your explaination for it ?
I make a motion that you, or any other Apollo Defender, satisfy the other readers of this thread, by submitting the complete provenance and chain of custody for that film. I seriously doubt that you can handle it.

They looked all over and nobody wanted the job.
That is your narrative now deal with it.

Can you still frame his head being transparent? I can't see what you're seeing. Thanks!
