The resistor got desoldered, unsoldered from chassis (had to put the iron at 850F), unscrewed and removed. Now I will solder the wires back, see if it still hums.
Sad thing is, it is right on the money value-wise.
The dissipated power is quite large, each of the 970 ohm sections dissipates 3W plus 0.5W the 87ohm section. 7W has to be vented out somehow, plus the sheer size of the 10W resistors. I will try to get them back into the Candohm shell.
While out of circuit, it exhibits absolutely no leakage.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Would mounting he transformer vertically change the hum, if used without additional parts?

I doubt it would introduce any noise. We use similar lamps for the panel indication, 12V AC lamps: they are LEDs...morzh — 02:15 PM |

Any 6.3 volt pilot light will work. I would use the brightest one I could find in my workroom. Be sure the dial is clean...RodB — 10:45 AM |
