Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Arrrrrgh!

After waiting almost three weeks for the slow boat from China to bring my little 60 watt halogen transformers, it looks like neither one of them is working properly. At least i can not get 12vac out of them no matter what i do. I tried hooking them to my variac and bringing it up slowly. That got me about 0.8vac on each one. I then hooked them to the filaments of a 26 tube for a load, and measured the the voltage at the pins and got about 0.8 vac for both again. This is straight out of the box with no modifications yet. I did not have this trouble with the larger wattage units. Am I doing something wrong?
