re: the ft-101e i am working on
I was told in one of these posts to put a 100 watt ac light bulb in line on one side of the ac power cord. If the bulb glows very brightly then there is a short or a high current draw. The bulb is glowing very brightly. Question is it save to leave the radio turned on in this state so I can take voltage readings?
A ps I am getting a short ohm (000.3 ohms) reading across the 10.5vac windings of the power transformer. Does this mean that this winding is shorted out in the transformer? I isolated the 10.5vac lines and the light is still very bright.
