Philco Tropic 39-770EZ
#25

Let's make the 46-1226 transformer fit the 39-770 frame.

Here is the 46-1226 transformer (left). Its core will be removed from its original mounting frame and installed into the 39-770 mounting frame.

I unsoldered the grounded lead of the audio output secondary from the frame.

Then, I unfolded the "ears" on the bottom which holds the frame in place, and then pried the frame open enough so that the core could be removed. Next, the core was turned sideways to fit in the 39-770 frame, the bottom piece was put in place, and its mounting "ears" were folded back over.

Voila! The core of the 46-1226 transformer is now in the 39-770 frame.

Another view:

I will have to extend the length of the wires by adding wire to each lead. I'll do that later.
