Last one on the freebie pile.
Seemed easy to disassemble, probably 'cause someone's been in here before.
Not much fun to get the boards out lotsa cables.
Visual inspection looks good. Caps look good, board is really clean, no heat marks and no signs of anything but factory solder.
Tried my 2 known good bulbs on one side, they light, 2 seconds to black.
Other side, they barely light.
Odd -- they glow at the end, get to about 2 inches, then go black. No arcing sparking or hissing.
It has one of those dual transformers on one core. Primaries both measure about 1.2 ohms.
1 secondary is 785 ohms other is 164 in-circuit.
Guess I'm looking for another transformer.
