Power Transformer Testing Rig

[Cygnus X1]

Mad scientist waking-moment brain fart led to this.
Rather than clipping wild leads everywhere and capping things off...etc.

This is a safety oriented rig that is both a general purpose light bulb limiter and has plenty
of room to hook up the leads safely inside screw-in terminals.
The block was salvaged from a CNC machine that got scrapped.

There is a 6.3V pilot light, fuse holder, and IEC jack on the romex outlet box.
Plenty of room for expansion for other functions, like a breadboard for amp
designs, or power tube matcher, output transformer tester...etc.

The transformer tested good.

Thanks!

That double sided screw in terminal block gives all kinds of options, the ultimate "breadboard".

And I have a lot more.
Muhahahaha...

I didn't expect it, but it saved my a** today.

I installed fresh filter caps on what was a perfectly functioning Con 56666 organ, but it was still running on the original canisters.

When I plugged it into the test rig the light was shining
full on.Checked and I had a whisker of wire running from B+1 brushing the chassis.
That could have been real bad!
