Some goo!

Ok on my Crosley i noticed some tar / goo. Has leaked out of the transformer.
Somebody must of tried to play it with a disconnected electrolytic cap i found.
I have ordered all the caps . Do you think the trans is fried?
It is not a lot of goo.
Thanks Denver.

Give it the " ol' smell test ". If it smells burnt, probably is ...... Gregg

You can ohm it out,or lift the output leads and check for voltage.It chould have overheated.. Sprman...

Thanks . It does not smelled burn,t . Someone before me
spliced the wires from trans i will check voltages there.
Thanks again Denver.

If i remember correctly an easy way to test the transformer is to remove all the tubes and power it up slowly. If there is no smoke or smell the transformer should be OK. This is only a test for the transformer.

Thanks for the info. Will check waiting on caps ect .
Place i ordered from must have slow mail

You may be able to tell if it's ok by removing all the and any dial lights and plugging it into a dim bulb tester.If the transformer is good the bulb should not light, but if it's bad the bulb will come on at full brightness.
