I'm done restoring a Philco 50. Everything's fine. Perfect. But, the power transformer is much hotter than that of the other models I have.
I am afraid that I will have coils crossed by the wear of the enamel.
It is also true that the transformer is located under the chassis. This can affect the temperature.
Has anyone encountered this problem?It is normal? Or do I have to worry about the bad condition of the transformer? At first glance it seems in good condition.

Thank you.
