Thanks, folks. I'll keep that parts set in mind if I need a transformer after all. I have to admit the transformer on this radio was always 'buzzy', so might have been at the end of its life to begin with. You can't set the power on this unit, it is preset at 117 volts and that is it. My other two German radios can be set for different voltages by moving the fuse around. For now, it will be getting a check to to confirm things and we will see what happens after that. It had the filter caps and such changed, but anything could happen and I've had brand new capacitors suddenly short out. It played fine earlier in the day with no issues and just like Ron said, it was still playing fine even with the smell. Saw no smoke, but didn't like that smell.
