i dont have a tester but i do have an old spare. What are the downsides of leaving it in? Of course anything is possible, but most likely bad things that could happen? I guess just trying to understand the failure...sure sound would suffer , have to replace but until then... is this a likely transformer ending event kind of thing/or...? Again, just trying to understand what is going on here.

Thanks

Bill
