Hey Phorum,
I've completed restoring the 511 and the set is working although at a very low volume (set is grounded/using a 20-ft antenna/tried 2 good 80s/have not yet attempted neutralization).
I cannot identify the connections on the transformer, but it says that terminals 1-3 should be 375 V-AC. Only 2 of my terminals have high voltage, but only 190 V-AC.
Interestingly enough, I bought a complete junker 511 for parts and it also shows 190 V on the transformer at the same 2 positions....is this coincidence or did both transformers go bad the same way? Is it definitely bad? I've never rebuilt a transformer before....should I try this or look for another? Any help is appreciated.
