[time-nuts] 10811 warmup (Jason Rabel)

[Jason Rabel]

Yep yep... Thanks to all who have replied... I just finished reading the
whole "service" section of the manual, so I think I'll just take it one step
at a time and see how it goes. I'm still hoping for a loose connection or
broken wire, who knows.

I must of read at least 15 times 'do not power up the oven circuit' in the
documentation... lol.

Not sure what inductors I have laying around, guess that is another thing I
will have to check on Monday.

Also just noticed that Jack Hudler was the person who scanned / converted
the 10811A/B manual that I'm always referencing, thanks Jack! Beats the
other copies that haven't been converted to real text (I had one that was
like 75MB and still not as nice).
