Does anyone know how much abuse the output transformer can take before it starts to change it's function (become a short!).
OK embarrasing story time - My amp has three output jacks in a row - 2 speaker outs and 1 reverb jack.
Now personally I think this is very poor design because sooner or later - yup the reverb gets plugged into the speaker out and vice versa.
So I've trashed the spring reverb input transducer... fo sho!
But luckily it's only about 120 windings so will be doing the repair by hand.
Now the thing is the amp is still working OK but I was wondering if anyone has any idea how much grief and for how long (I suspect it's more of power issue) you can give the O.T. before it starts taking exception to the treatment??
