Default Re: RAP 846 drawing too much current

450mA AC doesn't sound too unreasonable for a big set like that. A 100W light bulb will indeed drop too much voltage and glow brightly with that type of set, they're really only suitable for standard domestic superhets.

Are there any signs of distress when you bring it up (burning smells, smoke etc)?
