I'll pull the ends off this thing Monday at work ,I don't have a decent flat head screwdriver here at the house and those dang screws are tight!
I washed this set out with the hose, (see the attn:charlie thread)
and got some water inside the trannie, possibly this caused the short.
Originally when I powered it up the bulb would flicker and flash like the trans was frying. I baked it in the oven to dry it and now it's a steady light but far too much current is flowing.
I have a tranny from a 7" Admiral that might be about right, can't remember if it has a 5 volt winding though.
I have another from a KCS 47 RCA but it has about 375 volts coming out of it as opposed to the 275 called for in the GE, things might start popping with that much juice
