OK, noticed that the transformer is buzzing. As if it was not compressed right. Tried to tighten the two screws, but no effect. Not sure what that could be. A loose E-piece in the core?
It does not heat up much, and if it were a short turn it would screw up all voltages plus I'd probably see some smoke by now.
Not a reason for me to change it right now but.....I should expect some very low hum, but not really buzzing.
Now, knobs: I did not pay attention during the purchase but I have only one big rosette and then two small handles same as the power handle or a volume handle in 20. They are all Philco knobs but still....
They all should be rosettes except the power, right?
