[Boatanchors] WTB Gonset GSB 100 transformer

[NE7X@aol.com]

The transformer in my GSB100 also went bad. What I did is
removed it, removed the power supply tubes, then pop-ed out
a hole on the rear of the transmitter, install a male 8 pin
octal plug, then wired the GSB100 to my spare Heathkit HP-23A 
power supply. Now my GSB100 is working GREAT!

>Hi Lorne,

>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.
