Last week I didn't even know what a Dim Bulb Tester was, now I can make one!

Total outlay was $3 for the box at GW and $3 for the light socket, all else is junk from boxes (thus the mismatched colors...don't judge)

It's purpose:

I probably paid too much for this pig-in-a-poke but I've got a weakness for old integrated amps.

Wish me luck.

Test results, probably not good. 60W bulb.

Bright for onrush then dims like it should, but then it goes bright and wavers headed toward full bright all the time (shut down before it could).

Seems like a varsity level repair,on the shelf for a later date.
 
I am sure you definately will like the SA900 once refurbished! BTW it is nice to work on it, too.
