Default Re: My first antique TV-Olympic Model 755-need help.

LOL yeah it was like "ooh...that's pretty hot," but not "OW! Holy crap that's hot!"

Also, I have soft skin and get burned easily...which I was reminded about after a couple of mishaps with the soldering iron!

The fact that my poor little finger didn't get burned I guess is a good sign that the transformer isn't overheating. I'll keep your idea of a small fan in mind though. I might get one of those thermometers you mentioned too. I'm surprised you got it for that price, I assumed those infrared thermometers would be a lot more expensive. And yes I'll take it in fahrenheit, thank you very much!
