Hello Forum Members,
As I prepare to start working on my 37-640, the first thing I want to do is see if the power transformer is ok.  Since I am a novice to all this, can someone recommend/explain the way to do this since all I have is a Trtiplett 630 meter, signal generator and frequency counter.  Thanks--John
