[Hammarlund] HQ-180 Power Transformer

[Tim Kass]

"alittle pricy" is a bit of an understatement, I have found it cheaper to 
buy another used unit that the transformer tests OK in.  Hammarlund and 
Hallicrafters use alot of the same transformers in their receivers.  I 
wanted to replace a bad transformater in a Drake AC3 power supply, Peter 
Dahl wanted something like $150 for the transformer....silly when you can 
buy good used AC3/AC4 complete power supplies and working for about $75 - 
$100.

73, Tim
