Ok, Brought voltage up on my Variac slowly. No smoke, arcs, ETC.. Got to 100 volts and radio started to play. Then up to 120 Volts drawing about .2 amps..Everything looked good and let run for 1/2 hour .. still no problems.

So on to alignment. PS it picked up AM stations just fine with NO antenna attached..So I know at lease the Broadcast band works..

So hopefully The alignment will go well. We do that tomorrow..
