Default Re: What are the chances of a modern LOPT failing?

There was a batch of Panasonic transformers with the odd A1 connector on the top that failed, though Konig soon had a reasonably priced replacement available which looked identical to the original.
CPC saw a market in the replacement LOPT market and asked for working examples of transformers to copy them. Oh dear. Their transformers were hopeless - they either didn't work at all (Philips 8833) with pins shorted or else gave wildly incorrect EHT and heater voltages. They soon were withdrawn and we went back to the jolly yellow boxes.
