Output transformer question

I made a new message because my latest question probably is buried in the old thread too far. I found a 20 watt ultra linear OT in my pile off stuff I'd forgotten about. Can I splice it into the Express to check to see if the Heyboer I have is bad. If so, do I just leave the screen taps unhooked? This is just to check, not a permanent thing...

If it was me and I could do it safely, I would try it.
It should be quite clear if there is a difference between the OTs with the fault you have.

What about the screen taps? Leave them unhooked?

Yes, don't use them - pretend they are not there - and you will be fine. Do insulate the ends of them, however, because they are passing voltage

Good luck Randy. Lot of smart folks here. Just posted my results in other thread.

BTW, I grew up in Canton. Used to play the original Yockhockany Hunting Club on the Trace...before it burned down! Ahhh! Good Times!
