Where did everybody go???

[Eric H]

Charlie, I think this has been a great thread, I was wondering where everybody had gone too.

We perhaps drifted a bit off the subject of old TV's but there have been some good posts on that subject too.

BTW, what is the deal with the voting for a thread, I have voted on some but the only ones I see that has ratings are the "Show us your..." threads?


<tv content> The transformer in this GE I'm working on seems to be shorted, I removed it completely from the chassis and powered it up through a 150 watt bulb and the bulb lights brightly, an amp meter shows a 1.00 amp draw with no load? (using the bulb)
The Sams says it's 2 ohms across the primarys which is pretty close so maybe I have a shorted secondary?

I don't have the nerve to hook the trans directly to line voltage and see what happens, perhaps I will take it to work and do that, blow their circuit breakers and not mine.

Usually I can power an entire set up with the 150 w bulb.</tv content>
