I have checked the electrolytics a bit ago with a Spague Tel-ohmite. They are all good. I put the transformer in Friday night and it works great. It has more sweep than the other Thordarson that went bad. I felt the transformer after about an hour and it was warm but not hot. I did adjust the sweep to normal after about 15 minutes.
My 25MC33 also will collapse momentarily when the air conditioner compressor turns on. I think they are sesitive to even small line variations. When I use it on my sine wave inverter there is no sign of any collapse.
I was lucky to find the transformer on our favorite "auction" site.
Who rewound the RCA CT-100 convergence transformer? As mentioned before, the vertical output transformer does have a problem shorting to the convergence. I think the last one whacked the convergence board as the bottom convergence is now pretty far out. When I get back to Mississippi next weekend I will look into that problem and hopefully will have time to look into what looks like delay line ringing which goes away after a half an hour. I also plan to bring the set home as soon as possible as I don't like leaving the air conditioner on in Mississippi when I'm not there.
