Re the Hughes Autoformer... and Surge protection.
The Hughes does contain MOV's which are spike supressors.

I think I'll have to open up this blown TRC VR I have and see if it too has some MOVs.
Well curiosity got the best of me so I opened up this faulty TRC voltage regulator and found a "crispy" circuit board. I see only 2 MOVs and they "look" OK but one of the relays is totally melted and a large 10 watt resistor burned black ... step up transformer looks OK, no signs of overheating, but yeah this VR is pooched! Arrghhh! :M
