No, that is very abnormal and there must have been an error made when assembling the Heathkitshop kit. You better check it and determine what is getting so hot before severe damage occurs.

I notice that the PS runs hotter than before the rebuild. I've not used it in 'transmit' mode yet (still working on my ailing R4XB)... with the transmitter idling the AC-4 gets too hot to leave your hand on it for more than just a few seconds. I don't remember it getting that warm before the rebuilt. I remember hearing you should be able to leave your hand on a transformer for at least half a minute or it's running too hot. Just wondering if that's normal?
