Hmmm... Now I'm confused. My faulty voltage stabilizer did indeed
oscillate, but the replacement one that I put it (which indeed fixed the
problem I was having) didn't oscillate but held steady.
Maybe I'm just losing my mind, I guess I could use this as an excuse to go
visit my Spit in the old barn where she's resting out the winter and go
check the voltage coming from the stabilizer again.
