I've got a question. I acquired a SB-1000 that has a Heathkit
transformer with the part number of 54-1063. The manual lists the part
number required as 54-1061. Is there any difference? Also, I've
measured two of the secondary circuits and I get 14.9 VAC rather than
the 10.5 listed on the schematic and 6.6 VAC rather than the listed
5.2. When I apply power I immediately blow a fuse. I've checked over
all wiring and everything things seems to be in order. When I
disconnect one of the secondary leads to the filter/rectifier boards
(the voltage doubling caps & diodes) the fan turns and the tube
filaments light up but I notice that the Power Output meter is pinned
to the max. When the high voltage secondary is connected, I can see
some HV coming on line prior to the fuse blowing. Is the transformer
not the correct one and putting out too much secondary voltage? Are the
caps/diodes bad? I've taken those apart and all are connected correctly
and nothing seems to be blown or bad. Any thoughts or leads. Tnx in
advance, 73 Phil , KB9CRY
