$20/shipped.....Seconds........
Well, I screwed this Dim Bulb Tester up.
Let the cutting wheel get away from me, as you can see, bottom right corner, and upper left corner.
So I thought what the hey, instead of painting it, someone might like one cheap!
Used a new on/off switch (ivory), and new receptacle (white), I had laying around here just to complete it.
L is for "lamp" (I usually use a hospital grade receptacle with a green dot, no black marker).
This is not a hospital grade receptacle.
Missmatch second, but pretty cheap considering it is shipped.
It is still pretty sweet and very handy thing to have (just throw it in a drawer).
I have made a few recently, and most people like to have them when they go to look at a component listed on CL for instance, and can test it without harming it.
Wire is soldered to the IEC input, everything is heatshrinked, and I will throw in that cable (about 20" long) if you need it.
Any computer power cord will work.
Aluminum box (grounded to the box also).
I figure it will cost at least $8 to ship.
$20/shipped!

Nice!!!!
Thanks!!! -
Sorry Larry, guess I should have explained more.
It is mainly for the "vintage equipment" guys/gals.
For example, I bought an 8 tube 1952 tube amp the other day for $13 because it would not turn on.
Plugged it into the DB tester and instantly knew all was good with the transformer (if bad, tranny fumes can be deadly on older amps), filter caps, and there was no short in it, all from just plugging it in the DB tester.
So I knew it was something minor, and the amp was not a total loss.
Replace a few caps, and then use the DB again to test my work.
Poor man's variac, current limiting, tester.Testing

Sorry, 1 more post:
Simple explanation: the current required for a component to turn on, is going through the light bulb filiment first.
Thus the higher the wattage lightbulb, the more current sent to the component.
If there is a major short in the component, the bulb will tell you first (within a couple of seconds), and will burn out before before feeding said short.
Worse case, your out a .20 lightbulb, instead of a $200 transformer, or worse a fire.Testing
