Re: Halicrafters SX17 transformer
Since the radio is in the UK, it would need to operate on 50Hz mains. Looking at the data, the Stancor appears to be for operation on 60Hz, whereas the Thordarson catalog states that the 22R05

I think your AVO 8 is a 20Kohm/Volt meter. Most modern DVM or electronic voltmeters are about 10 megohm fixed input resistance. Very old VOM's are often 1000 ohms/Volt. The reading you get depends
