[QUOTE="Steerpike, post: 69387, member: 807"] Yes indeed it is a rubber one, and not really safe I think - the inner coloured insulation just crumbles when flexed. I was mainly wanting to use a transformer when I thought it had ONLY a resistive cable. Now I see it has big dropper resistors inside (factory original), I think the transformer is not so important - although it would make it run much cooler. The transformer I have is an auto, so gives no real safety benefit. You (I) can see that the chassis has been punched for a transformer, but it was not installed - resistors put there instead.
