Hello, I just stripped out a basket case VK II transmitter for rebuilding. Most of the transformer leads are brittle and even carefully removing them thru the chassis hole, I can feel the rubber inner jacket breaking up. I would expect to replace the wires near as I can get to the windings. The plate transformer will need good HT wire. I have quite a bit of different sizes of silver teflon. for most of the windings but not quite sure what to do about the HT wires.
This is a project transmitter, not a restoration. Suggestons? Sources of suitable wire in an affordable put up. I have other large transformers with the same problem as well. Thanks, Bill, KB3DKS/1 ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
