The RX2 transformer..

This little beauty injects the "go juice" into the bridge so the radio can hear all the rack or the null depending on the circumstances. It's made wound on a binocular core ("Corpse" if you're Obama) and -- while daunting -- Lou's docs and pictures help you through the exercise. You just have to make sure you know where one winding stops and the other one starts.




The manual instructions has a picture with these starts and finishes marked on them. If you mind the pictures, you should do o.k. A ton of enameled wire is supplied with the kit but I had some "bare" enameled and some green enameled so I chose those to differentiate the primary and secondary windings.

I did have some red wire too, but I was getting a little "Christmassed out" and went with the bare copper look.
