HaldenIt was not reported that a short circuit involved the common ground tap so I am not sure that this is of concern.? When one 5 volt heater winding is at +800 RMS volts, the other is at -800 RMS

Hi Halden Your posting just poped up when there is no load on GIO. I also have contorted my head trying to get at the crux of this failure, and the reasoning behind it using other wording. Your

Hi Jim, Thanks for your explanation of the typical layering sequence on transformers for radio equipment of this era! I¡¯m not sure I understand the part in bold where you say the 5V winding can see

Jim re The 5 volt windings see twice this for a total difference of 2.488 kV. Make sense? Yaaaaa! But we usually speak of rms in dealing with insulation, but the peaks are still there too. Sent:

DonTransformers are usually wound with the highest V/A winding closest to the core and then the next and so on.? Once the primary is wound, the B++ winding is next, then the tap is brought out and

Jim, re ¡° ¡­. This would put perhaps more then a KV difference between one 5 volt winding and the second HV winding sitting just below it ? I wonder where you get the voltages from . we can see on

Can't say. I've never done a forensic analysis of one of these transformers.? The one in my HT32B (5V winding is taped off) has been that way ever since I got it.? It's still "shorted" to the HV

I have no proof of this but I think the original transformers were simply poorly constructed, meaning the original supplier (Stancor ,or other manufacturer of the time) just didn't do a very good job
