Here is an in field emergency, last ditch, almost insane method of saving
a section. Use your side cutters and chip away a bit of glass where the
wire goes into the glass pinch. Expose about 1/16th of an inch or just
enough to see a stub of wire. Get your soldering iron and attach a piece
of tie wire to the stub. Voila! (sp)>>
The way I do it is to score the pinch 1/2 of the way down and then snap it
with dikes and crush the glass away from the wires with pliers. That should
give you enough lead to twist some tie wire on. . This technique only works
with nontubulated electrodes. For tubulated spring for a ross cap, they have
always worked well for me. David Ablon.
I may have responded to quickly about transformers in drop ceilings.
Sometimes the drop ceiling can act as a return for the heat and AC so in some
cases any type of transformer may not be allowed.
