The replacement was indeed made in China. It's an Edwards model

I dunno what this means:

"Non-regenerative thermal overload protection"

but it *could* mean that the transformer has a thermal fuse. If so,
it's an easy and dirt cheap fix.

Some small transformers have a self resetting thermal circuit breaker.
I assume the Edwards transformer has a one-shot thermal fuse
(cheaper).

I've gotten replacements at radio shack on one occasion, although their chioces
are limited.



I used to purchase the little glass capsule automatic circuit breakers
from the electronic supply house under the ECG brand name. I loved those
big old ECG and SK parts books. ^_^
