Where is this previous discussion? I can't see any reason why a 25Hz transformer won't work. Yes it may have better regulation, keeping the secondary voltages higher under load, but this hardly seems like a defect. As already noted, if your line voltage is high, run the set from a bucking transformer to reduce it by 6 or 12 Volts.

Nice radio by the way. Some years back I borrowed one for side-by-side comparison with my Stromberg-Carlson with the acoustic labyrinth. The 201X sounded noticeably better.
