Hi,
I usually turn all my tube amps on for some hours every few month and today it was the turn of my Sherwood S-5000 (7189).
After a couple of hours I touched the power transformer and I noticed it is very hot (you can keep your hand on it for 10-20 seconds but it's very hot anyway), while the output transformers are cool. Is it normal? I know that the S-5000 has a very hot HT at 415V. Can be this the reason?
Any advice is welcome.
Raul
P.S. the amp work fine, nice sound with no noticeable hum. The only thing I replaced was the only one small electrolitic that is under the chassis.
