The Output Trans was a bit of an obsession at one point for the reasons just outlined and it was commonly said that if yours had gone nothing could be done as it was a rare item. Then one or two people found that a "normal" Op Tr could be a substitute [with suitable protection of course]. Sean Williams had a number of new and used ones when he helped with the sale of a large amount of War Surplus gear. Some people wondered why there would be a flaw in the Output Stage of such a Rolls Royce Radio? One answer possible answer was just the wartime haste. It was also pointed out [I liked this one] that they were used in fixed positions or arrays and a large supple of spares would probably be easily available, so they would just get one from the stores perhaps?
