Default VCR damaged by AC overvoltage surge

James / others

The neutral WAS connected. Some generators will work fine -- mine didn't.
(As a precaution I first did a test with a high-wattage bulb on one 120 and
low-wattage on the other an it appeared to be OK. The test wasn't
adequate.) Now I strap both 120V circuits together. I can't use anything
240V of course, but I can do without that for the limited time required.
Regards Jim H.
