Default Re: Linear L50 Mains transformer Fault

Depends on what caps you use for your radio repairs. If it's the standard yellow types rated at 630 volts etc., then yes you can. Don't believe the rubbish spouted by these guitar amplifier folk!

Why not just ask Ed Dinning to rewind your original transformer as in post #2? This would be better than spoiling another potentially good amplifier by removing its original transformer to repair this one.

It goes without saying that you should thoroughly investigate the cause of the original transformer failure before attempting to fit a replacement, as they don't just fail on their own! Obviously you should check the continuity of the output transformer before going to a lot of time and expense on a mains transformer.
