Default Re: Pye V4

I've just purchased a VT4 today, so everyone's hints & tips are most useful.The one I have looks as if it has had no previous repairs. The chassis has never been out, no rust, just a very thick 'carpet' of fluff.

I used to repair quite a few of these in the early '60's, but it's a long while ago now, so hearing from others in respect of possible problems is very useful.

I have recently had a couple of Philips 17TG100U LOPT's fail for similar reasons, i.e hygroscopic windings, so I shall be especially careful, as I need to get these two re-wound.
