Well, yeah.....most power goes to heaters. And it is 35W (2.5V @ 6x1.75A + 5Vx2A).
And then most of the rest of teh power (80W) also goes to heat, because the output acoustic power in these radios is 2 to 3 Watts.
So it is more or less an 80W heater.
Yes, to try to power the 47 from a separate DC source might work. Need to find this source. 2.5V, 2A. But even if it works, then in the end I will go back to AC to keep it original.
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.
