Hi folks, just a little about the fused line plugs. You don't see them anymore because of their killing ability, which is very good. All you need is the fuse in the cold side of the line blown and of course the hot stuff goes in through and all the way back to the open fuse meaning the entire thing is full of juice waiting for a finger, might have been alright if they were polarized which there were not and of course the sockets were not either.. RIP with those literally.. 73 Mike K4XM ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Foltarz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 26, 2003 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Series capacitor equalizing resistors
