Default Re: End of my beloved DR101

Hi All, Where has the wax come from? I'm thinking it is possibly the EHT overwind? You can prove this by removing the overwind and if the line output bottles come alive (draw a spark with an insulated screw driver from the top caps) then it will be your EHT overwind that has shorted turns and the primary will be o.k. You can then fit a tripler connected to the line output top cap and add a 5kV 150pF or thereabouts from there to ground and all should work again. Would save a 1400 l.o.p.t.
