subject: Rectifier Bulb? HoHoHo

RJT> It looks like a light bulb?  Clear glass?  Can you describe anything
RJT> about the innards?

JH> Bulb thing is about 1- 1/2" long and about 3/8" diameter.
Clear glass,
JH> with kind of a strip of metal looking thing in there maybe about 1/16"
JH> wide where you'd expect a filament. It is bent in a "u"
shape and maybe
JH> total length of that is about 1/2".

 FWIW, I'd suspect you've got a self-resetting
circuit breaker.

 I suspect there's additional components there
somewhere, too. (Maybe, under the transformer
winding coverings?)

 TTYL.
