Curioser and curioser
Replaced 1K, 2W and 2nF,1KV cap and powered up via Variac.
At about 60 per cent mains much increased amps taken and then out-gassing or
something
and crackles near the 2 x 200V, 200uF electrolytics.
Across each cap is a 330K resistor in parallel with something designated on
pcb as ZNR.
One of these ZNR discs had blown the ceramic covered end faces off, the
other looked
OK. Removed the apparently OK one and it measured 260 ohms at room
temperature
and reduced ohmage on increased temp so presumably neg coef. thermistor but
260 ohms
over a 200V cap ? ? ?
Removed the other 'ZNR' and held the end pieces back to the core with some
aluminium foil for
better contact and squashed together gave a minimum of about 3K which also
is too low.
