EICO 950A

[Geaney]

Well it looks like I found a suitable transformer from a supplier in Sweden. It's expensive but one doesn't have too many options when it comes to finding suitable t/f's for this type of project. So, I've completely stripped the thing down to the metal bits and will rebuild from scratch. Fortunately the t/f mounts reasonably centrally so weight distribution should be OK - and I keep the original hole for the rectifier valve socket. I beefed up the magic eye mount as it was very flimsy. I added a strengthening strip underneath the t/f since so many holes had been drilled there before. Lastly I've added a pair of tag strips for the main components. I plan to wire it up as per the original 950A except the power supply which will be the 950B version. All the original components are junked except the close tolerance resistors mounted on the selector switch. So far so good.

Cheers, John
