Default Re: Advance J2 Audio Generator

Hi!

Both Gordon J King in "Radio and Audio Servicing Handbook", 1970 ed., and C.A. Quarrington in CH. 6 of vol 3 of " Radio & Television", 1963 ed., emphasise that mains transformers should not run hot, drip wax or pitch, smoke, etc., if they're in good condition both on and off load, so if you've got a cooking one with no secondary leads connected you can confidently chuck it away!

However, if you don't mind an investment of about £60 send a PM to Ed Dinning – he does a first–class job of rewinds and did a super job of one from a Farnell DTS 12 scope for me!

(In fact I'll have to get him to make me another tranny as the first one he did disappeared with my last old car a year ago!)
