$10 Fake Philco Baby Grand radio and a boring weekend
#25

When I said crazy I meant the dynamotor putting it 60w.
That's the part that impressed me.

I have more than one dynamotor.
I bought a brand new old stock WWII or even early 50s dynamotor dirt cheap in eBay. It has a crinkle finish and it is so new and untouched it makes my heart ache it fell into mMY hands and not one of you guys.
It's 12v input at 400v output at around 60w.
The first one is a 24v to 250v 30watt one from Westinghouse.
I loved running three 120v dimmable led bulbs in series on it, and they ran happy as a clam.
