Re: Daf96
Yeah, that's what I meant (quite dramatic in this case, too). Makes you weep doesn't it!
It also shows the mayhem that an over-volted LT line could do in an IF or output valve - imagine burning out the filament which then goes Pyongg (breaking at the chassis end rather than LT+ end), the fine wire then contacts the anode, the healthy HT supply (or bypass electrolytic) then dumps energy via the anode's transformer into the LT line, zapping the other valves which have so far survived, and burning out the IF or outpout transformer as it does so.
Has this ever happened to anyone?
