Thanks, Alan! Nice to see you here (I'm the guy who bought that FADA neutrodyne from you).
Your explanation does make sense. It would take time for the current to start building up if it has to pass four sets of liquid rectifiers.
It seems this may work like the in-line light bulb I use when first turning on an old radio.
I also noticed while looking at the book by Ron that there were a couple light bulbs poking through the holes in some of the other battery eliminators.
Technology sure has changed!
