Unless there's a special purpose circuit in a TV which I'm not aware of,
it's pretty unlikely that there will be a net DC current drawn from
the line. And all transformers show the same effect to some degree, not
just cheapo RS ones.


An earlier part of this article added yet a new name for RS to my
vocabulary. I wonder how many there are? I've heard:

Radio Shock
Radio Shuck
Radio Shaft
Radio S**t
Rat Shack (from a former manager of one)

    and probably others I've forgotten. Oh well, they're handy, anyway.
