Wow. Aluminum wire. Wtf?

Thanks Gus!

 

[Whoops]

WOW,


Amazing how they tried to attach the wires to the Aluminium, it's just by pure luck and a lot of Praying at the factory that those would not loose contact or arc once you start using them.
I can really imagine after each transformer is assembled the whole factory workers to gather in a circle and do a religious ceremony asking God to keep the wires attached and extra praying for at least some electronic contact.

Love Mr Carlston's Lab videos by the way,
he has a really nice Capacitor Leakage tester that I would love to build

Probably more efficient to do that for batches, not for single ones...
