[R-390] Open Z-503 AGC IF Transformer

[tfrobase]

Thank you for the offer, I found one at Fair radio.  I pulled one out of a
blue line backup radio, but I want to get it repaired, your correct it is a
bear!  Have you ever diagnosed the failure mode, I guess maybe a plate short
on the AGC tube?

Tom, I have a few new original coils left... I usually get 25 bucks for
them... I have worked on these things for about 25 years... Rewinding them
usually takes about 10 hours.... These coils are high Q... If you use
another coil, your AVC voltage will be real low... If you have looked below
the chassis you will see that replacing this coil is a real bear... About 12
wires to take aloose.. I use a special proceedure that uses only 4 soldered
joints.... 73's Wally  k5op
