How to replace a Vintage Ham Radio power transformer National NC-173

This fine receiver came to the shop in need of a new life. Normally these units are in poor cosmetic condition. This ones a solid 8, well worth restoring. As you can see, it is quite the undertaking if you do not have the original type transformer. Lucky D-lab has a mill in the shop. Makes easy work out of chassis modification. If you have one of these radios and the original transformer is installed and operational, word of advice, change the filter cap and those negative bias caps! A little preventative maintenance will save you a world of stress & work. As always, D-Lab changes out caps on all these old rigs that enter the shop. They have done a great job for 50+ years. They will last an easy 50 more with TLC. Thanks to all that have been supporting my efforts. This piece was purchase with donation funds, so you can enjoy the results.
