RE: Pilot SA260 amp Power Transformer toast?




Kirk,

The other posters have you on a good path to resolving your issue.

Old cloth insulation IS a source of difficulty. The next time you have to deal with it, consolidate the stuff with clear nail lacquer and follow up with good heat shrink. The product is not especially flexible, but it will hold up for quite a bit of time. While it might fracture, the consolidated cloth fragments are held in place by the heat shrink.

BTW, are you planning a "stock" rebuild or are you interested in some modifications that will improve performance?
