Agreed, but I could not do that yesterday evening when I
thought of it, because the washing machine was also running ...
Did you catch your washing machine;-) Just curious what the washing
machine has to do with checking your power supply voltage?
It's eating the power that is required to feed the PDP, right?
Perhaps, but the switching regulators in the PDP should regulate
to the correct voltage even with a slightly low incoming AC...
Sure, but there will be incoming AC only as long as the circuit breaker
(presumably shared between washing machine and PDP-11) does not trip...
