Am guessing that toroid transformer is 70% or more of total KPA mass? Has anyone put it on a scale and remembed its weight? Be sure to seat and torque bolt properly when putting it back in.

Just label the wires so you know were to put them when it comes back. Undo the bolt and pull the big torroid out. You'll notice the KPA500 is a lot lighter now. :) 73, mike va3mw On Tue, Nov 22, 2022 at 6:42 AM <n...@n1ix.com> wrote: > I am sending my KPA500 to Watsonville for service.
