They're usually electronic and very noisy.

he rewired it and added some caps and it works. why wouldnt it? it switches ac to dc 12v which is what car amps run off of. Just check it out

Where do you touch your tongue on this to test for continuity?

ps. I crack myself up.
Here's my rewound xformer. Last time I checked, it put out 2x27.5V with 124V on the primary. That's going to get used for an amplifier soon. I did 2x25 turns of 14 guage solid wire. The fit is so tight that I had to force the last 10 turns into the holes. BTW, the scratches on the core are from me cutting off the secondary with a hacksaw.

IIRC you have to get a bunch of glass pickling jars, aluminum plates and some Lye solution.
Oh, never mind, I thought I was replying to an OLD post
WordUpOnLCDs said:my mot is so much smaller than yours, think its still possible to draw useable power out of it? like 12v at 20a?
12V at 20A is only 240W, a microwave oven transformer is rated about 1000W - so there's no problem as far as size is concerned!.
