I've done some power transformer voltage measurements :
One side of the high voltage secondary measures 400 volts,
the other side seems to have the 4 in the wrong decimal place
,
and the rectifier filament voltage is just 332 volts.
I measured continuity of the rectifier filament and there is none, verifying the worse...a shorted power transformer. At least now, I don't have to 2nd-guess whether I damaged it after I got it, (re-insulating the leads, like what happened with the 39-6CI.)
So, for now, back in the cabinet the chassis goes, until I start shopping for another (2nd) power transformer (unless I decide to take on re-winding both of them). But , at least I satisfied my Kirk-inspired curiosity.
