After unwrapping a few layers of paper,plastic & wax/lacquer, I found a
little square black device about .200 x .250 x .050 thick. I don't have
a strong enough magnifying glass to read it, but in is in series with
one of the input lines, and it is open. I'm guessing some type of
thermal limiting fuse. Bypassin it shows the primary winding to be good.
As a matter of fact, a few days ago I took apart a cheap 3 speed fan,
which had a similar device stuck to the windings, and it was also open.
Anyhow, until I get a stronger magnifying glass, what is it?
