power transformer [message #2251] Mon, 23 December 2002 22:03 Anonymous I just got a k100-2 head, pots date it to 68. Somebody changed the power transfomer and it's putting out a little more voltage than it should, which is making noise when it is at idle. Does anyone know were to get a replacement, there are no markings on the tranformer currently in the head., thanks Report message to a moderator

This will be much cheaper than a new power transformer and you will have a more stable power supply as a added plus. (less distortion more watts!) Report message to a moderator
