[Amps] Transformer 50/60hz

[Carl]

The transformer will run a little bit warmer so dont push the amp to the 
last watt. The blower will also turn slower so find a happy balance with 
your output power and air flow.

Dont waste your money on a new transformer, if you ever need to just get the 
original rewound locally.
