It's a base K2.        =20
                                                                           =
                            =20
Also john w1rt recommend removing and rewinding T4:                        =
=20
	Having just been there, I'd recommend removing and rewinding T4. I        =
                     =20
	believe the links were causing the problem, I ended up putting them in=20
	*before* installing the transformer, keeping the routing pretty similar=20
	on both sides and generally keeping everything as symmetric as possible.=
=20

I admit that I may have mis-wound T4.
