Re: Hot power transformer in a Sherwood S-5000

I think you may need some TLC. I have a later 5000 with the 7864 tubes and experienced the hot transformer after several hours of use. I had it in for service with the tuner and the tech replaced some caps. Since then I have been able to leave the unit on for more than 8 hour sessions and the transformer is cool to the touch; can leave my hand on it for as long as I want, similar to my McIntosh. Admittedly, the tuner transformer runs hot.
