[Hallicrafters] SX-117 disaster

[Jeff]

Thanks Jim -

For sure, I'm looking at one 50.75 KC IF Transformer.  It is deformed 
inside.  Second, I opened up one of the 1650 kc transformers, and it 
also shows burned windings on the top half of the transformer. The slug 
also looked discolored.

So maybe that's all it is.  Still disheartening, because all my voltages 
and resistances looked correct.

My radio is an "E" revision.  The small white coils that you mentioned 
before are intact.

Jeff
