I have not yet made any measurements. I will replace the off-on-volume control with the one from a 220-T junk set (assuming that one is good) this weekend. When I do, I'll make the measurement.
In the meantime, your posts helped me to remember that I used to buy CL-80 and CL-90 inrush current limiters for a former radio repair customer (back when I was restoring radios for people). This customer wanted an inrush current limiter in every one of his radios. Well, anyway, I still have a CL-80 left from those days. It's rated at 3A max, 0.5A min.
The Fisher 700-T is rated at 19 watts (23 VA) minimum power consumption, 180 watts (190 VA) max. These are the figures from the 700-T manual. Being as how the CL-80 is rated at 0.5A minimum, I don't think it is suitable for use in the 700-T? Assuming 125 volts, at 19 watts that is a minimum current of 152 mA, well below the 500 mA minimum rating of the CL-80.
