Default Re: Thought this might amuse you...

Happy days indeed, I remember well opening the back of many an old tv and finding rs sections hung like bunches of grapes around an o/c mains dropper in various series parallel combinations, crt transformers tied with bits of old wire to a chassis strut, I myself nearly bought the farm due to a previous engineer shorting out half the mains switch, silver paper fuses were common as were nails.
