Sorry about the chat thing. I wanted to send a PM but couldn't figure out how to do it; hey, I'm getting old! Anyway, great to read about your adventures and I fully understand that we have priorities, not to mention the physical abilities to get things done. Now, I have a lot of enameled wire, a homebrew winder (just a drill chuck, crank and turns counter) and, I think, even the Tek transformer drawing. I've wound transformers for switching supplies and other stuff, but the physical details of the Tek transformer are a bit beyond me. I'd give winding one a try, but I don't want to wind it ten times to get it right! Would you be willing to share any helpful hints if I wanted to give it a go? I love my 545B (both of them) but in all honesty I'm wondering if it's time to dump them and get a cheap Siglent digital to pair with my 7000 mainframe. Of course I couldn't bear to scrap them, I can no longer lift them and finding anybody local that would actually use them, as opposed to just grabbing the tubes, is probably a pipe dream.
