   They stick doorbell transformers in the strangest places.  I've been   
   living in this old house for 25 years and still haven't stumbled across   
   mine.  Yet the doorbell works.   
      
   When that hidden transformer finally goes bad, I hope it's an open   
   primary and not shorted turns.
