Hi Malder!

Yes, Doc and I discussed this problem a few days ago after we heared of it from another customer. This production run of transformers has bolts in them that are a bit shorter than what we saw in the first run. Now, lets see if I can recall the fix that Doc B told me.

Take the nuts and washers off of the bottem of the transformer. (Handle the transformer carefully so that the laminations do not separate). (For each bolt) - slip a shoulder washer on so that it contacts the bottom lamination of the tranny. Now mount the tranny with a shoulder washer on each of the four bolts onto the top of the chassis plate. Now, from the bottom of the chassis, slip another shoulder washer on , then slip that washer that you had removed on, then the nut - and sinch it up. There should (barely) be enough threads left to tighten it up. If not, email me back and I'll ask Doc on Monday if I am remembering this correctly, and I'll tell you what he says.

Hope this helps!
