This is the kind of great information you find in this forum! I always knew you could remagnetize weak magnets this way, but exactly how to go about it for this application, well that's quite another thing. Sharing the specifics of a successful setup for a particular application with everyone this way helps document a body of knowledge that the "old timers" probably knew and some of which was passed down to us "kids" either in person or by way of old magazine articles. But a lot of it has been forgotten. And some of the tricks we have to resort to in order to deal with problems no one could have imagined might surface some fifty years after these machines were made we have to make up ouselves. Yay, AudioKarma and yay to everyone who shares their expertise and tricks of the trade here. I, for one, appreciate it, big time.

So how did you eventually keep the fuse from blowing to get the full 1/2 second field each time?
