Someone suggested earlier that a 100W lamp could be wired
across the open ends.

That seemed a far more practical solution.


Yes - a lamp limiter - common practice for enthusiasts
renovating old radios and TVs - especially TVs.

They usually have a bulb and bulbholder mounted on their work
bench in series with the mains supply with a bypass switch to
short out the lamp when they are satisfied that no damage will
result.
