This set doesn't have a power transformer. It's series string.... I still have the concern for the wattage. I didn't realize you were saying baxically the same thing as I. But, I still doubt it will be as low as 30 ohms..In any case, there is the surge factor... I prefer to start high, and, work my way down.. Perhaps ten watts is plenty, but, Tim is afraid to even try that. He is afraid he will dammage the set. I tried telling him that wouldn't happen, the worst that could happen is the resistor prematurely fail.. I can understand why he refuses to spend sixty dollars on twenty watt resistors, but, I tried even telling him to put resistors in parallel to get the desired wattage...
