Default Re: Racal RA17

I do not believe there are any combinations of front panel control settings which can damage an RA17. Let your conscience rest easy.

The scale lamp bulbs are powered from the main transformer and that from the mains via a switch and a voltage selector at the rear of the chassis, along with a fuse in a fuse-holder.

Most probably a fuse popped.

However, there are some components which degrade over time and 15 years after last use suggests you will probably be best with some help in getting it going again. There will be a fair amount of work involved in making sure the set is in a reliable condition, but they are worth it.
