MEP004a, Exciter, T2 failure

T2 failure. H1, H2 open primary. Center tapped secondaries, X1, X2, X3 are conductive. 72-2609=5950-00-600-0840.
Any ideas?

Is rewinding the primary winding practical? What Gauge wire...How many turns?
The plastic is OK. The tabs are OK. But the carbon smell is present.

Salvage availability?

Is MEP004a Exciter the same from MEP004 thru MEP007 for an Exciter assembly swap?
Thanks,
Joe

The transformer is the same for the 004A and 005A, ONLY.

Rewiring is always an option.

Salvage availability? You have to look.
Below is all the tech data I have.

I don't suppose you looked in the big auction site? There is one for 450 bucks. Little steep for me, but I don't need one.

Couldn’t agree more. 450 is steep. Xfmr or exciter chassis Salvage /carcass would seem tenable. Any salvage opportunities between Houston and Dallas? That transformer is a boat anchor. Thanks!

I found a company that would build one for $400 a few years ago. I was able to find a couple so I never needed it.
I may be able to find the info if needed.

Thanks. I would look into it. What is the best path to find a used one? Salvage would be OK.

Here is the Information I have:

This email was a reply to a phone conversation I had with Kathy on 11/12/2013. I don't know if she is there anymore or if they
will still supply the transformer but at the time a few people were looking for replacements. It might be worth a try if all else fails.
