Tales from the crypt indeed !

So who ended up shocked and who ended up de-lighted ?

And to create a shift in the TIME-SPACE CONTINUUM .......

You could try wiring LIVE and NEUTRAL across a single pole double throw switch making sure you have the correct current rating , place the project box on the floor making sure your friend is leaning over the box monitoring the power LED (Make sure the top lid of the box is removeable - all securing screws removed) THEN plug your procjet in with the wall switch in the OFF position and THEN ....using a broomstick and jokingly tell your friend it's for safety sake and THEN...from a distance flip the switch to the ON position.
RESULT :
1 X very surprised friend
1 X totally blackened pc board
1 X extremely well toasted and burned out SPDT switch (all ratings ignored) :-)

ISOLATION ISOLATION ISOLATION !

Now try to maintain proper stabilization of this channel without creating a situation of over-modulation

Steve, Adam .. are you guys kinda volunteering yourselves to be PSU testers for this one ??
Could we get captures for each stage of testing ? one cam on you and one on the circuit ?
....and the scene begins with a skull and cross-bones with a caption saying something like DON'T DO THIS AT HOME ?

Kind regards
Dennis
