Absolutely, that's all anyone can do. Just give her the love that she needs, and look after her as best you can.

We're all praying that things go as well as they can for you both  :-* :love: :cat:

I'm not sure, maybe because that's what they had back in the day when it was made.  :wndr:

How odd, I wonder why they would use a resistor instead of a choke. Although I have seen similar things done for spectral lamps so maybe it's more preferable for scientific applications, who knows.

300C? My gosh that's like soldering temperatures! I suppose this runs on DC instead of AC, so resistance is (was) the only option for current limiting.
