Reply to "Prewar model K transformer service?"

There were a few variations on the K transformer. The earlier ones were in a cast iron body vs the later tin body. Some had the top retained with screws, the later ones tin tabs. They are likely filled with asbestos. Many shops don't service these older transformers. Shipping costs both ways generally makes repair of these units uneconomical, but my contact information is in my profile if you are interested in having me service it. If you post a few pictures of what you have, I and the other experts on the forum here may be able to help you through it so you can do it yourself.
