Well, I disconnected every wire (labeling everything of course) and removed the transformer. It's quite amazing how light the chassis feels without the power transformer. I measure the B+ winding and it reads now 22 ohms. Still seems a bit low, you guys think it is? If the trafo really is zapped, what is the part number for the merit/thordarson replacement?

Tubejunkie,

My power transformer has a similar number. 940157 274/1SUB5 719
The filament of one of my 5U4's was burned open too. When there is no load on the secondary B+ winding (rectifiers out) it doesn't smoke at all, so I just don't know.

Thanks.

Jonathan
