Could be, Bob. The early Philco Xfrmrs were prone to being open due to the type of plastic used to insulate the primary/secondary windings.

I am more than casually related to two of Bob's previous enrties:

1. I now own the early three-knob Philco 19 that Bob restored. The chassis is a MASTERPIECE!!

2. I am probably the only person who BROKE one of Bob's excellent nylon Philco alignment tools. KIDS: NEVER, EVER use an ALIGNMENT TOOL to loosen a frozen nut. Icon_sad
