In Reply to: Sherwood S5000 - heat destroying wires?? posted by ToddM on July 17, 2014 at 11:08:12:
As an amateur hobbyist/diyer, could be heat, but looks like there is a lot of oxidation on the copper wires, and even the soldered terminals on the tube sockets, so at one point there must have been a lot of moisture present, maybe a damp basement.
The copper filament wires to the output tubes have a lot of green oxidation, as does the high voltage stranded wire to terminal 9 on the tube at the top left. Some of the filament wires look like they have burned.
There is a resistor with rust on its leads.
There is a brown wire going to what looks like a 5 watt resistor that looks like it may have overheated.
Looks like a project, but you will end up with a nice piece.
