 JJ> Hi Ivy, 
 
Hi, John;

Careful visual inspection revealed nothing cooked in there, and all
diodes checked good with ohmmeter, so I replaced the xfmr, (which was
getting quite hot in a couple of minutes of what appeared to be normal
operation), and plugged it in.  Since everything appeared normal and 
diodes checked ok, I was hoping that the (current) problem was shorted 
turns in the xfmr... WRONG GUESS!   :-<
The rest of the story was in the msg I sent you.  (1/2 A SB fuse never 
blew!)   :-<
 
 JJ> Should  be a 12 volt output, as the batteries are 12
 JJ> volts, I thought.
 
Actually, according to the label on the bottom, it's rated output is
17.5 volts.  (The origional xfmr & the one I replaced it with are
25 Volts).  The replacement came from Radio Stuff - 12.3-0-12.3 V @
2 Amps... BARELY fit physically!  The batteries are labeled 12.5 V.
Remember, like a car battery, you have to raise the input voltage above 
the battery's voltage to charge it.   :-}

RATZ!  Sorry, I can't handle another $20 right now.  Maybe I can
wangle some info around here.
 
Many thanks es 73 DE KB9QPM
