I did the transformer test my late friend showed and the transformer is definitely bad. It heated up fairly quick, though not so bad that I couldn't touch it. So, on the back burner the T7 goes until I get some other things taken care of. I pulled out my Olympic Goldy 250, which is the beater of my small German radio collection. First one I bought for $25, flaking finish, original tubes that all test good, very basic restoration after seeing it worked well and it still works great. Oddly, the best performing of all my German radios is the beater! I keep it hooked to my little power reduction box as it is supposedly rated for 110 volts, but the powere transformer in this radio is larger than the EMUDs by comparison and uses diodes for the rectifier or does now at least as there was never a rectifier tube.
