[Boatanchors] WTB Gonset GSB 100 transformer

[Al Parker]

Hi Lorne,
    I think the Gonset GSB series must have about the worst failure rate on
pwr xfmrs, I've heard a lot of "wants" for one.  I have a GSB-101 amp that
has a replacement xfmr.
    One thing you might consider if you don't come up with a xfmr is to use
an external Heath HP-23 supply (or even take the xfmr from it I suppose).
I, and others, have done that for such things as Hallicrafters HT-32/37's,
which also have a high failure rate.  It worked real well for me on the
HT-37, I even made it reversible so putting a transformer back in was easy
when I did get one.
take a look at:

I mention it there, with some pics, but don't describe the process.
