[R-390] Transformer Rewinding

[Barry]

Hi Al,

Yes, I've already emailed with Gary, but I can't justify that kind of cost 
for this inexpensive little capacitor checker.  I bought it non-working for 
just under $15 not knowing what was wrong with it.  It's in excellent 
physical shape, but the transformer is charred and I assume one or more of 
the large electrolytic caps are leaking badly which eventually burned up the 
transformer.

There's room for individual transformers so if I can't rewind this one 
myself, I may try to find individual transformers.

Thanks!
