Thanks for the input.
If the sinc-section needs another construction I will do it with parts of german junkers.
I had no problems with the 7“-Motorolas and the GE-train.
My GE-train is converted and sweeped to CCIR european standard and works fine with it.
The german Funkschau printed an nice article in the late 50s how a TV repair man converted
US-TV-sets from the troups to CCIR standard, so that the troops can watch german television.
He wrote that he take care about it to make it easy to convert them back, so that they have no
problems with the sets when they return to the USA.
He wrote that the old roundies are better in quality and picture sharpness than the modern
rectangular sets.
Several hundreds of sets he converted.
I have a few 110 Volts power transformers and 2 adjusting transformers for any AC voltage.
But just the 60 Hz operation makes a rewinding of transformers importent.
A friend from Berlin rewinded a lot of power transformers for me, a part of them were burned.
He was the right hand of the boss of a transformer & electro motor rebuilding company.
With the Admiral transformer we (he) have a little problem (he is elderly - both ) to get it into peaces.
Because of the black color I will visit another guy with a strong supersonic tub, this will help.
I think my 24 A 125 N has the same chassis like in the bakelite console, only one power transformer.
It is crated and hidden behind many other TV sets……

Best regards,
TV-Collector
