Dale,
Warm should be fine. I assume that the R-4B has been re-capped, so
there should be no "leaky cap" issues in the power supply.
FYI, the R-4A early (13-tube) version power transformer runs *VERY*
warm, which is normal, but is also why I use a top-mounted fan on the case
directly above the transformer to draw air out of the radio. There should be
no need of that with the R-4B but it is an option if the "warm
transformer" concerns you.

Got the r4B finished today, set the bias and s meter and added a coup la
of crystals, 17 and 12 meters. Anyway , after the receiver ran for 1/2 a
hour, I noticed the power transformer seemed very warm.not enough to make you
take your hand away,,but warm. Sound normal?
Also I want to send the the twins out for service to somewhere, Can any
body suggest someone for service that somewhere in the southeast,Iam in sw
Florida. Figure the closer they are the less travel and = less damage.
thanks
