Yeah the primary is open. I peeled back the beeswax and removed the green corrsion to try and find the break. I found one but it looks like there is more.

My second 37-690 is good and works well. It looks like no one in a long time has been in there and done anything.

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM
