Agreed.

Just had an instance of that a month or two ago. Went to a seller's house to look at a 5-S-29, and got a bad feeling 'cause the primary seemed to be open. Seller wouldn't budge on price though because he knew what the radio was worth. So I brought it home at his price--still not a bad price, just couldn't talk him down lower.

First thing I did when I got home was pull the the chassis and check the transformer proper. It's fine. It's the switch that's bad.
