Title: Plastic part on Power Transformer broken
Post by: revolverxz on April 11, 2022, 06:37:31 PM: The plastic part on the power transformer broke off on each side, I was wondering if the transformer would still work or if I need to get a new one. Here's an image of the transformer

It was like that when I received the kit.
