My Bright Green Lamp Limiter

[Mike Watterson]

I've used a 2 bar electric fire as a limiter in the distant past. Can't remember what for. 2 different settings!

I've also used a lamp limiter in an HT feed while diagnosing line timebase problems. For transistorised timebases - valves can take the short term overload.

And 3 settings if you rewire it!

And not only that - put the two bars in series across the supply, take the output from the midpoint - hey presto, the Poor Man's 240:120 Autotransformer!

And still current-limiting / short-circuit proof.

I like it, simple is best. I bet works H&S would have kittens (and then ask me to home them).

Used again today to bring up an ancient Sharp music centre that's lived in the shed for a mere 25 years or so.

Amazingly enough, both it and the lamp limiter perfromed flawlessly.
 
So now i can listen to the wireless in the garage whilst potching about sorting the multiplicity of nails and screws left to me by my late Father.

The music centre was his too, demoted hence because "it takes up too much room".

[DrStrangelove]

There seems to be an infinity of nails.

And some screws thrown in for good measure.

But the music centre plays me R4 quite successfully.

Dunno if the queen wasp is so keen on R4 though.

[PerdioPal]

"There seems to be an infinity of nails."
Is that a countable or non countable infinity? This matters when choosing the infinite amount of jars to hold them.

[DrStrangelove]

Definitely an integer infinity.

With a smaller infinity of woodscrews.
