I just wrote an e-mail to Hammond Transformers. The transformers they are making to repair the Radiola III A do not fit into the original cans because of the wires used to connect the contact board to the transformer itself. They are too thick and too long. There is no electronic reason for the wires to be as heavy gauge as they are, nor to have as thick insulation as they have.The highest B voltage they will see is +80 volts, according to the Radiola III A manual, nor do they carry that high a current. The original wires were much thinner, probably #24 from what they looked like.
