On my L7 I noticed that the filliment choke had a slight bow in it. After further investigation I found that the core inside broken in two almost in the center. I think it's RFC2 on the schematic. It's right beside the Filliment transformer. Is this a bad thing? Do I need to replace the core? I don't know what to replace it with.
