[R-390] EAC Power hum - resolved

[Steve Toth]

Turned out to be the power transformer.  I swapped in the power deck from my "yet to be restored" Imperial/Stewart Warner and the EAC was dead quiet.
 
Anybody have a good non-EAC power transformer they want to part with?  If not, it looks like Fair Radio is going to get some business in the near future.
 
Note of interest:  when I swapped in the other power deck, I noticed it had older style rectifier diodes installed (possibly a field mod/upgrade) but it still had the 26Z5's mounted in the sockets.  Has anybody seen this before?  Seems redundant, but apparently still works OK.  I didn't check the diodes to see if they were OK.
