Thanks- I've already tried that site but nothing comparable. However, progress made after conversation with Mike Barker. Mike has rewound two VC1 LOPTS and believes LOPT is definitely the problem. However he also says problem may be the main windings rather than the overwind. On one he did the insulation between layers had disintegrated and reacted with the wire to strip it of enamel in places.
So it's eventually off to Mike for a rewind. Mike has details of the overwind, so I can safely cut it off and run the set to see if the problem persists. I'll let you know the outcome.
Many thanks to all for all the thinking so far!
