when the transformer went in my TS520SE

Your what?

For the benefit of those who lack basic google skills (or CBA to
google), it's a 1970s Kenwood "Ham Radio" shortwave transciever
designed to be run off mains power (120/220/240vac). Presumably he
meant the mains transformer in the integrated supply which, in this
case would have been a special to provide heater and HT voltages for
the valves (vacuum tubes) as well as low level DC voltages for the
transistorised portions (it was a 'Hybrid' design relying on valves
in the final stages of the transmitter to achieve its 100W PEP RF
output power rating).


Thank you. It would have been simple to include a reference to its
purpose in the original message, such as:

"when the transformer went in my TS520SE shortwave transceiver, ... .

Agreed! :-)
