My old Diehl MKV Scanner actually runs the FBT from its own bulletproof HOT if there is B+ and lights tell me if there are problems. Then I can disconnect the loads one at a time and if there is still a problem it has to be the FBT. After the thing is fixed, the Diehl will run the tv indefinitely to see if there are any intermittant problems. I still see those things being offered for sale.
