Obvious Manufacturer srewups

I've gotten a few over the years and it's entertaining to hear about others - I'll start by posting a picture of a transformer - I just received 5 of these and they all have the same problem. Must be a new guy at the plant. What's wrong with this picture?

Hmmm, those wires look long enough to pull it off

[briane]

transformer screws(#8's I think) upside down.

Wires are fine keep looking. imagine you are putting this in your next build.
Edit - yup that's the problem - I will have to remove an reinsert, something I hate doing 'cause it might screw up the potting.

I was a bit cryptic...

I meant that the wires are long enough to install the PT upside down....

That's a great idea - if I can figure out a way to call that a "feature".

You won't hurt anything removing the screws, I do it all the time.

Yes, I've read of guys pulling the bell ends to stuff un-used wires inside.

[Allynmey]

I routinely replace the screws for longer ones depending on the chassis I use.

Are you sure that it isn't just the screws are backwards or are the bell ends actually on the wrong ends?

Looks like the screw heads are on the wrong end.

Guys this is a power transformer. If the bells were on the wrong ends
1. there wouldn't be a hole
and
2. the exit wires would have to pass through the core to get out.

Correction: The screws are in backwards and that's it.
