    Sony STR-7065A Transformer Hum

    My current restoration project is a Sony STR-7065A. Aside from the usual problems (dirty contacts/pots, burnt out lamps, etc.), it has a very noticeable hum coming from the transformer. It's moderate when idling, but pushing it to max power into dummy loads gets it buzzing really loud. To be...

    DIY EICO HF-87 Clone Ft. David Gillespie's EFB mod

    I had a go at building an HF-87 clone from scratch. Wound the output transformers from 3/4 stacks of microwave iron and 3d-printed nylon bobbins. Power transformer was wound from an old HIPOT transformer with another 3d-printed nylon bobbin. DIY walnut cabinet.

    Pioneer SX-434 Power Board issue

    Yesterday, I received my new-to-me Pioneer SX-434. The ad on ebay said it was recently serviced and in good working order. The trouble is, I discover after plugging in that the only thing working are the dashboard lights. That makes sense because the transformer secondary that feeds the lamp...

    What are the output specs of the transformer for Model 2225 ?

    Does anyone know the output specs for the 2225 transformer? The service manual shows three AC inputs to the P800 power supply board, but I don't see any specification for their voltages. I can measure them on the unit as well, but would like also to compare those measurements to a spec.
