First off, I replaced every resistor that was out of tolerance. But the transformer got excessively hot after a moment so I turned off the power. I then proceeded to replace all of the remaining resistors, but the transformer continues to overheat. Does anyone have some suggestions as to what might be the problem here? I found none of the capacitors or electrolytics to be neither open nor shorted.
Thank you,
Bob Isaac

For the life of me, I cannot find the pilot lamp specifications on the schematic for the Nordmende Othello 53. Does anyone know what this type if bulb is? All I know is that it is a scew base type of lamp.
I also have the same question for the SNR Excelsior 52. Can someone help?
Thank you
Bob
