Just an update folks.
I replaced the ELC lamphouse/socket on my D2 and removed the stabilizer from
the circuit. It seems to have fixed the problem of immediate lamp failure.
Even with the new socket and with the stabilizer in line, my voltages were
running 26 VAC + 8 VDC. Without the stabilizer, voltages run 27 VAC and 0
VDC.
I think this means the stabilizer is shot, but I'm going to try to print
without one. Just curious though if anyone has experience using voltage
stabilizers from other sources besides Omega.
Thanks again for everyone's help solving this problem, especially Nicholas,
Eric, Richard, Harry, and Bob Watson.
Jim

I still wonder what sort of stabilizer this is. Without knowing that
its difficult to analyse the symptoms. I wonder if you tried it with the
stbilizer out of the circuit if the lamps would still go out right away.
Also, 34 volts total would make a 24 volt lamp burn very brightly but not
burn out right away.
Also, beside Harry Taylor you might try Bob Watson who also repairs
enlargers especially Omega. I haven't heard from him for a while so don't
know if he is still in business rwatson767@xxxxxxx
He does not have a web site.
