Hi!
I have a commercial 144MHz amp I bought 2nd-hand for fun - it's very simple
stuff - a single QQV06-40. It blows the mains fuse as soon as it's powered up
and, as there are no obvious shorts I assume this means the transformer is u/s.
How do I confirm this? There is a very small resistance, a few Ohms on the
primary, but I've no idea what it should read.
If it is u/s I take it that's curtains for the amp as it's an old design and I
doubt if I can source a replacement transformer of the correct dimensions to
fit the case. Can old trannies be rewound or is that crazy talk?
73 es tnx
