I tried winding the replacement transformer, but my first two attempts were failures. The first one wound ok, but two of the free wire ends broke off and could not be retrieved. The second time I slowed down the winding speed and got most of the way through but started having problems with wire breakage because the wire was snagging on mold flashing on the edge of the wire spool. I did end up finishing the part and got the wire leads attached. One of the wires broke because the coil was too much of a tight fit to the lamination stack, so that one also became scrap. Now I need another spool of wire to continue. I did another test wind of the primary only and it seems to be ok, but I will need more wire to do the secondary. I'm new to this and am learning what works and what doesn't as far as securing the free wire ends and getting an even layer of wire to lay down. I also will make the bobbin a bit shorter than the core window so it hopefully will fit after all the windings have been laid down. I'll get this right eventually.
