I have ordered that output transformer from AES, along with a lot of condensers, which brought my total up past the point where shipping is free.

Today I did cut a piece of fairly heavy gauge sheet metal to use in mounting a new terminal strip and the transformer to the speaker basket. Beside that, I rebuilt the lamp socket for the shadow meter. I had already rebuilt the one for the tuning dial.
