I have never made a transfomer
I have never made a transformer.
But I did make a few capacitors & inductors, That made the circuit take off on its own. And I did make the odd resistor, So the juice could not get where it was needed. And I never made a vacuum tube, But I did make a pretty good diode while soldering. And I have still not made a transformer! |

And I have still not made a transformer! John L Stewart Be ye not mournful nor melancholic late in life, sorry because ye have not done every damn possible thing, nor travelled to every destination, nor pharked all the shielas at yonder house of pleasures, nor been king of every realm, nor been surounded by tables stacked with golden coin and diamonds, nor put even two turns around some iron to transform a voltage or current. The astronauts who went to the moon never built their rocket engines before they set off. But are we are not all astronauts? - a gathering of 7 billion partially sensible beings travelling in space on the Good Ship Wonky Earth whose control systems we are struggling to understand. None of us know how to make an Earth and at best we make but hot air. But I did know university professor of physics who knew a lot about quarks and tiny stuff and his after hours interest included amp building and he could not figure out why his amp produced so little power and like you he'd never wound a transformer either. He didn't realise he'd connected up his OPT "wrong". The OPT may have come out of a university dumpster bin. He'd found there were 33% UL taps on each of two primary windings. But he manages to connect the windings so the 33% UL taps are 66% taps for 6V6, and he gets power which is hardly above triode power, by accident. He'd used the two wires meant to form the CT and go to the B + as anode terminals, and brought the anode terminals together for the CT and B+. Had he ever wound a transformer, part of his brain might have been transformed slightly so a clearer mental picture of what he was doing might have appeared at least subconsciously which would have led to an additional conscious question or two and he'd not have needed to seek my humble assistance. There are piles and piles of things I have not done and will never do and I'm the stupider for that. But I can't be in the right place at the right time to try to do everything. And Jennifer Hawking might regret she didn't **** me. But I know it would be frightfully expensive for me if she decided to resolve her regrets one evening with me, privately. Patrick Turner. |

All of these appeared as parasitics in the circuits I worked on at various times. John
