So I am working on reversing a particular transformer that shall remain aynonomous at this juncture.
I will say it is a pretty old transformer.
I can't get a good null on the Gen Rad impedance brdige. Mushy need action. Then I read something over at K and K about transformer "break in".
Being ever so the skeptic, (or is it septic!), I put transformer "X" on a signal generator for a week to "break it in"
.
.
Well, guess what! Now the thing has a real sharp nulling action!
Please don't take this as anything but audiophoolory at this point, but I am definately seeing a difference.
Perhaps this transformer has not been used in quite a while.
.
.
Sooo, I do not know why I started this thread.
(but if any of you run into this same thing....)
You might want to give your new iron a while to "settle in" before passing judgement.
Or this might be a bunch of bull, but you have to explore all the options.
At this pint, I do not know what to make of this, so I will try the same thing with some other iron and report back.
And please don't tell PRR!
I don't want to get laughed out of Dodge!
(or Ford, in his case!)
