Just mentioned elsewhere that I have a new transformer on order and I
can't
really do anything until that arrives. Rest assured I appreciate all the
input
and I'm taking it all into consideration. Thanks.

You bought the fuses, right?
I DON'T want to hear about another blown transformer.


** Be real smart for the OP to purchase some OTHER 120/24 volt tranny and
use it.

The things are a dime a dozen.

And fit a "slo-blo" 1/4 amp fuse to the primary.

Hmmm,
What is fuse gonna do? Instead of blowing x-former,, blow fuses?
Then still it is not right. Let;s go back from begining. How old
is the system? When this blowing tranny started? From day 1 or some
time(month, years after the system is installed? If tranny is hot to
touch when in use, that is rad flag.


A RAD flag - is that something like a "turkey timer" that pops up when
the rad overheats?

The fuse would hopefully pop first, saving the transformer long enough
to actually do some troubleshooting.
