Re: [A/S] 1972 power converter is out

As others have mentioned good batteries are required for correct 
operation of the converter. Otherwise damage to appliances and the 
converter it's self will result.
One other item to remember when dealing with the converter as it was 
installed in those years. There was no 110V socket located near the 
converter to plug it into as they are today. The converter was hard 
wired to the 110V circuit breaker box located on the roadside outside 
wall. The wire was run along the belt line on the inside wall and behind 
the cabinets etc.
One more than one occasion we found there was a failed connection about 
1/2 way across the back wall that cut out the converter power. In these 
cases it was necessary to run a new dedicated line from the converter 
location to the 110V breaker box.
