Title: Triad r-16a Post by: wa5ddz on October 17, 2013, 05:56:04 PM Having 4 Heathkit dx-20's, all with bad power transformers it's time
to try something. The Triad R-16a transformer may be a possible sub. It would be a tight fit if it fits at all. Anyone have an old one they would like to get rid of ? Or is there a better sud ? Any and all information would help. Thanks : Title: Re: Triad r-16a Post by: Opcom on October 18, 2013, 12:47:19 AM What are the original specs?

If you can find an old cb amp such as a d & a 400 there are 3 usable transformers there. With minor wiring changes I've fixed 3 similiar Heath transmitters using the 3 transformers salvaged from the otherwise useless cb amp. Thus, a cheap fix. Darrell KW4DE
