Midwest 98 - bridkarl - 08-01-2023

Long story but I ended up with this Midwest 98 while getting a 41-255.
 The transformer is toast so I need to find a replacement. It came with a 24R13U which is totally bad. Interesting radio - full of WW2 surplus parts. 
Pretty easy restoration once I find the transformer.

There's one on ePay for $95 obo plus 8.40 shipping from LA. So offer 75 and see what happens.

I would try AES, look at the power transformers listed for guitar amps if you need one that is horizontal mounted, or even if not.

I looked but it appears to be gone already.
