... In fact, I was in the ghetto when I zorched my mod transformer, and got razzed by ED VA3ES for it.
Did I razz you? I don't think so. All I did was gently advise you that I heard that situation live!
It was not a pretty sight, er sound!
I assume you got my email about the RCA plug pins for your Thordarson? I have the same transformer here and that's what I use. Fit like a glove and easy to solder to.
HA! Something along the lines of 'That's what you get for hanging out in the AM ghetto!'
You're right, too. If I'd not been up there that night, I wouldn't have zorched the mod xfmr then - maybe a week later. But I would've missed my old pal Brian, W1LYD/KL7 visiting from Skagway.
I did get your email, Ed. Thanks for the tip. I'm still concerned about keeping the pins in place so they don't slip out, but that can be addressed. It was more a case of curiosity, having never seen the official connectors and not understanding how they fit.
Too bad no one ever invented self-healing transformer windings. It's been a few weeks now, I'd be all set.
