[Johnson] Ranger Power Transformer Hot

[Glen Zook]

130 degrees F is not bad for transformer temperature!

I have a ranger 1 that its original power transformer
went out in a smell of glory. I obtained a nice
original replacement and did the transplant. I
replaced all caps, and also the LV rectifier as it was
shorted fil to cathode. When letting the thing idle
the replacement transformer gets to 130 degrees F and
will sit at that temp. I have a temp probe clamped to
the transformer by the shell mounting bolt on the
inside/inside corner. Is this normal to run at this
temp? Other than the power transformer heat all else
seems great and can find nothing out of the ordinary.
