Thx. I knew better than to check voltage before the igniter is hitting up..blasting 30 to 50k of VDC through a VOM (even though I saw a booth operator do that...toasted his VOM very quick). Nah, I usually do the checks when the bulb is running for a good half-hour. This way the current has settled and stabilized.
