Author Topic: Smoking Strong Switcher Rectifier Rick McCluney Film Handler Posts: 66 From: Ocean Springs, MS, USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 08-11-2003 08:17 PM                     Sure enough it was the white Square D terminal block which had melted on one side. I should have thought of a loose connection, but I had not encountered the problem before in a switcher and only once before in a Strong Highlite console.

It should be a rule and not just a common courtesty to post a follow-up after a solution has been discovered to a "help-wanted-technical" post. It helps us ALL! >>> Phil  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"
