Picked up an SB-230 at a rummage sale and I suspect the p.s. transformer =
is
bad. The first and second time I hit the switch it trips the breaker. =
The
third time it will stay on.  I have the transformer disconnected from
everything but the mains supply. It draws 2 amps with nothing connected =
to it and it seems to draw over 10 amps when I first hit the switch. Am =
I correct to assume it is bad?  3 of 6 of the electrolytics are leaking =
badly also and I
suspect may have put a strain on the transformer.=20

                                                Thanks Mike
