Now that the Minerva is playing away happily I thought I'd have a look at the 950A. First impressions are not good (to say the least) so this may end up being used for parts. The mains transformer has clearly had problems because there are two transformers installed - both wired up! There are two rectifier valves fitted and the overall build quality is really poor. It also looks like it is heavily modified versus the original drawing so apart from stripping ti down and starting over I'm not sure how viable this instrument would be.
I'll hunt around to see if I can find a transformer. If not I suspect this one is unlikely to make it's way back to life. However, no point in deciding in haste. All suggestions welcome on this one.
Cheers,
John
