Hi Jolly 7

I've just checked the resistance of driver and output transformers in both kits and have attached the readings in the pic below.

I was quite surprised to see there is considerable variation between the transformers in both kits. I don't know which set is considered to be as expected but going by the pallid IF transformers in kit 2, then I might be inclined to trust the readings in kit 1 as opposed to kit 2.

In the garage, I have some Eagle LT44 driver and LT700 output transformers. I'll check the coil resistances sometime tomorrow. These are physically larger than the ones in the HX108-2 kits though.

Regards
Symon.
