Default Re: NCX-5 powered by NCX-A keeps blowing fuse

Ahhhh, not under load state it was, when the readings done.
Will read the transformer voltage and also the 12V AC voltage sometime today, and update here.

Also, I connected the NCX-5 transceiver to the PSU, and switched it on with the lamp limiter inline. But there was absolutely nothing happening with the rig. Not even the pilot bulb came on, and none of the valves lit.

I could understand that because the PSU is not powering enough current with the lamp limiter, but I would have thought the pilot lamp and a few valves might have lit.
I was suspecting if the rig itself might need to be recapped, because all the parts inside looks original.
But maybe the rig should have been switched on without the lamp limiter? I was too cautious in case it will be damaged by over voltage.

Thank you.
