I bought size 36, so this is going to be an adventure! I've never done this before! That wire is thinner than a hair! I broke it just trying to clean the wax off with naptha! The other 2 main windings measure 5.7 ohms and 5.0 ohms just as the schematic says. I'm in over my head, but I won't drown!

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
