What you said makes sense. I always knew they ran hot--compared to a normal tranny--and I knew it was from the saturation--but I did NOT connect the two--till now. Makes sense--that to "boost" the voltage would require some sort of storage and to "buck" it--would require RELEASING that excess energy somehow--as heat. I DO know--that tv sets using them tended to be MORE energy efficient--than those that used series pass regulation were--INCLUDING the Zenith flat chassis.
