On the ‘bay, submerged in 6” of water on the transformer side......

Should have been listed as a 'clean' 700B

LOL!!!!!

More and more rare, that’s sad...

Can't give this one a girl's name, it's Mark (Spitz) or Greg (Louganis). Or Johnny (Weissmuller).

now if it was just the heat sinks, I would have thought it was done by design, but the heavy side down isn't right. Hope the transformer is no damaged.

I may take a chance on it

Most likely on its side in a flooded basement. A rusty transformer might still work, I suppose, since the copper windings won’t rust. Aluminum heat sinks wouldn’t be affected either.

This one should be powered on with a dim bulb, I'm thinkin'.

Lee has a few of everything. He is the Fred G. Sanford of Phase Linear.

The left VU meter appears to be, what all kids say now “kittywampus”

It may work but poorly. The rust indicates the lam insulation is broken down which leads to eddy current losses. The insulation system may also have broken down being submerged in water. No telling how long it was under water. If it was short, it would probably survive. If for a long period of time, turns into a total crap shoot.

An high voltage insulation tester (megger) would be useful here.

Lee,

Don't forget. I am still in need.

I was acquainted with a lot of Jewish people when I lived in Baltimore.
The word for this is “fakakta,” in common US vernacular, “FUK TUP!”

Anyone on the forum win this auction?

I almost choked on a 7up when I read this ...

I was interested until it went over $100. That is a lot to pay for a rusty transformer...
