The only way I have managed to keep matching transformers for my 900 foot
beverage is to mount the transformer inside a defunct tube base and mount a
corresponding socket in a weather-proof box (I use a standard rural mailbox
for this). Whenever there is a threat of severe thunderstorms in the area,
I go out and manually unplug the tranformer assembly from the socket, and
leave it lying disconnected inside the closed mailbox. I got tired of
rewinding that transformer, and haven't lost one since I installed it in the
plug-in assembly.
