[NJARC] Hallicrafters SX-16 PS

[Scott Roberts]

So the glow was a bad thing... Could it have done any damage to
the transformer itself as well?

I will look over things again, and take a look at the colors:
while a bit faded, they are still visible. I would like to know
what voltages I should be looking for coming out- there are three
sets of secondaries: the heatera are coming out around 6.5, and I
have to check out the others...

Thanks Marty!

Scott
