Sorry for taking so long to update. Lots of other stuff going on. Got the transformer and hooked up and powered up and let some smoke out. Found a few issues with bad solder joints, am going thru everything rechecking. One more question, it is missing the 2nd IF. took one out of old GE that had SMD, took the caps out and put a 100pF on secondary to try it out. According to the schematic, the original doesnt show a cap on the primary do I need to have one. Not a rush on that until I get the bad work redone.
Thanks,
George
