Never forget--it's highly desirable to keep molten copper from splattering on you or your clothes.

Hope there is a properly rated fuse in the control circuit. Like, say, a KTK-3R... I would not repower anything without a proper control-citcuit fuse.

It's just a careful process of elimination.

Was it a plugin photocell? Bench test the new photocell.

Trace all wiring. Check voltage with the cell unplugged. Then connect a milliammeter in the line/usually "black" lead of the cell and carefully power it.

It is remotely possible the cell was defective, but make damn sure everything else is OK before the second "test."
