Orange lamp

Post by Vegard » Fri Jul 24, 2009 4:56 pm

Hi!

I am currently building a 45/100. I want to use the orange lamp(120V) and not the red 6V.
My question is, what do connect i to. If its possible at all...

My 120V primary is connected to a voltage selector.
Can this still be done?

So i have to run a wire from the lamp to the 120V on the selector, and connect the other wire on the lamp to com.?

Just hook the lamp direct to the PT lugs (common and 120v tap), no need to run the wire (with A.C.) all across the amp if you do not have to

Ok, thanks!

Roe, when i look at your build pics, i can see i have mounted my PT 180 degrees from what you have. Does that have anything to say?
