Hello Phorum,
Well I just finished the rebuild of the 84B. I had previously checked all coils, but realized today upon fire-up that I still hadn't checked the transformer, except for the dim-bulb test which passed. From F-F on the rectifier I get continuity=0 Ohms and no voltage. The voltage across the rectifier plates is correct however, although a little high ("630V", actual =680V). Is it worth rewinding the power transformer or should I buy another? Based upon what I've seen for other coil types rewinding doesn't seem that bad. Any suggestions? Thanks guys,
