Title: Crack transformer labeled wrong? [resolved]
Post by: KidEh on June 09, 2016, 12:46:42 PM

Hi all,

I'm working on a Crack that I ordered a loooong time ago and finally am getting around to build. I just finished wiring  the B+ power supply, and noticed that the terminal labels on the sticker are backwards from those molded into the transformer itself. ie: Sticker terminal #6 matches up to molded #5, and sticker #10 matches up to #1. I assume that this was a labelling error, and I'll need to flip the PT-3 and re-do all the terminal connections, but before doing so I just wanted to verify.

Thanks!

Yes, it appears that the label is backwards and the transformer is installed backwards. Apologies for the error. Glad you caught it - well done!

Thanks Doc,

Yeah, I botched the connection at #9 (melted wire coating bad enough it would need to be re-done) and spotted the mismatch. Good news is I get to savor the build that much longer!
