2019-07-16 Thread Dylan Distasio 
I just got mine in today.  FYI, for anyone who is in the US, I neglected to
notice that this unit come set to 220V by default.  Although I am not very
good with transformers, I noted in the manual it said that the taps could
be changed, so I decided to open the case and take my chances :-).  It has
two windings in parallel, with taps for 0, 100, 110, and 117.   There was a
jumper connecting the two windings at 0/110 (for 220 total).  I unsoldered
that, and unsoldered the remaining wire on the second winding to 117V and
resoldered it to 117 on the first, crossed my fingers to avoid the magic
smoke and turned it on.  I was greeted with a nice orange glow across all 5
tubes showing zeros!  I've never actually used a FC before so I have to
figure out plugging something into it to check other digits but it looks to
be in working order as far as I can tell.

I did as well, thanks to the OP for sharing.  FYI, the seller accepted an
offer of $120 (plus shipping) from me if anyone else is considering
scooping one up from the list.

I couldn't resist, although I'm not sure what I am going to be
realistically doing with it any time soon.  In the back of my mind is the
dream of turning it into a clock of course, similar to the Evil Mad
Scientist reworks of HP FCs which still use the FC function for
timekeeping, but it may be beyond my time and abilities, at least for the
foreseeable future.
