    Great demo. Too many are reluctant to dig into transformers. Thanks, 73. b.

      Thanks! If you liked that one, here is one where I dig "a little deeper".

      Hope you enjoy that, it shows you don't need a lot fancy equipment but some old tools and some rusty junk certainly helps. Thanks again to you! 73

    Nice repair. How lucky can one guy be? Btw, you can have that horseshoe removed surgically at any livery stable in the wikd west.

      Howdy. Yep! Got lucky on this one. The horseshoe was embedded a bit deeper on the Emerson 641B radio repair video series Part 2 (ruclips.net/p/PLm_BfKDA0rpOk4ML1MQQnAjb_JJCDifpl&si=w8vemeBVVqgW83Pb). But the ol' farrier was able to dislodge the shoe with the the help of improper tools and a bunch of rusty junk. Check out the video entitled: "Audio Output Transformer Project, Save Me! - or - How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love Rebuilding Transformers". Was awarded extra points by "Fibber's Closet" for using a bait cast reel. Thank you for the kind comment.

    The way your shaking, I wouldn’t be handling anything sharp or pointy.

      Hello Jim, and thanks for stopping by. I have enjoyed many of your videos, and your cabinet finish work is especially fine. Take care.
