> One more thing - Transformer T4 (all my toroids were wound by
> TheToroidGuy) seems "interesting" . The actual resistances of 1-3 and
> 2-4 (on a Fluke DMM) show -0.01 ohms whiich seems to agree with the
> manual's requirement that the measurement be no greater than 5 ohms.
> The schematic shows 2-4 connected to 1-3 so apparently this continuity
