Default Re: Advice on output transformers

Hello to everyone.

I have already replaced paper capacitors (C68, C69, C73, C74, C63, C64, C56, C58, C54, C53, C51, C52, C28, C25, C23, C22, C21, C20, C17, C16, C15, C14, C31) and electrolytics (C65, C77, C78, C79, C29).

The sound seems much better now. Though in P.U. mode some "distrotion" is still noticed when volume is a bit high.

Also noticed that one of the OT gets a bit hot than the oder, i.e., after playing for 3 or 4 hours, one of them remains cold and the other is hot (but I can perfectly touch it without burning myself... I can keep the finger there witout problems). Is it normal?

As soon as possible I will mesure the anodes and cathodes voltages of ELL80 and ECC83.

Thanks again for all your effort and help.
