Hey, John, got any idea of the DC to DC converter that charged that capacitor? What voltage did it put out? Or the time it took to charge it? Guarantee that you won't light a flash tube with 1.5 VDC.

It had a flash, powered by a 1.5 V carbon-zinc AA battery. Inadvertantly, I got across the terminals of the flash capacitor and got a hell of a shock. Had the current gone through the right (wrong?) place, I could well be dead. -John _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
