Default Re: AEG component identification

Thank you Lucien - I've not come across a 'doubler' before, and it's good to hear that my inkling the contacts arc isn't completely outrageous. If these diodes are likely to be faulty, as Joe_Lorenz thinks they might be, there could be excessive current in this secondary...

The only indication of the voltage is the capacitor values, as I haven't a circuit. I can't think it'll make too much difference - perhaps a more vigorous spark? I'll keep looking for the mains transformer fault, and bear in mind the values given above for these AEG diodes.
