Also Joe, the Caps discharge rather fast, down to 1 volt within a couple of minutes

I'm willing to track down a DBT or make one if possible, variacs should not be hard to get, I think Jaycar sells them, what do you think?

 

[Gepetto]

Do you have a variac you can borrow from your work?

 

[derek92994]

Do you have a variac you can borrow from your work?

I will ask them tomorrow.

 

[derek92994]

Are there anymore steps we can take today? or wait until I get the variac?

 

[Gepetto]

None that are safe Darcy.

If you can borrow a variac, we can start taking next steps...

Ok thank you Joe. I shall report back once I get the variac. During the week we are on opposite time schedules, I can do some stuff but usually have to wait until the weekend to do bulk testing sessions.

Until Then the Pioneer will do just fine, I have lots of fun turning it into a hot blow dryer

 

[derek92994]

I can get a 500VA variac for $199, is that good enough?

It will certainly support bring up without a large load on the amp but will run out of gas if you want to do anything serious with it in line. You should check with your workplace before you shell out $200

Gave up the beer, went onto Scotch and Soda, lost 5kg without even trying. Am walking daily now so that should help more.
I like it super chilled. Why no Ice Joe? I'm guessing you will say drink it straight

Winter, bring it on. I dont like the summer here. But I understand winter is a challenge over your side of the world. More overtime today, working like a dog.
