Here's an old vintage battery charger I recently saved from the garbage. It has the same problem pretty much ALL these old chargers have, but we'll fix that and add some safety features. These are great for charging lead acid or sealed lead acid batteries (SLA), and can often charge batteries other modern chargers won't even attempt to charge, so they have a usefulness and should not be discarded. But how SAFE are they? Let's see how we can repair one and make it safer at the same time.

In this video, we'll diagnose a 1960s Ampeg Gemini VI and determine if it's a diamond in the rough, or ready for the trash heap. I'll also show you how to measure output transformer turns ratio and how to calculate the primary impedance for a given output transformer at a given secondary impedance. That's right...it's MATH TIME! WAYS YOU CAN SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL: Like, Share, Subscribe, Tell Your Friends, Stand in the Middle of the Street Naked Screaming "LONG LIVE THE GUITOLOGIST"!
