Grundig Model 1060U Acquired and is blowing fuses (and original power cord blew off)
Hello everyone, earlier today I picked up from goodwill a 1950s Grundig Model 1060U that when I got it home and opened it up I saw that the fuse was blown and the original power cord was blown clean off from the base of the interlock cord where it goes into the back cover but the cord was taped to the top of the radio.
when its blowing fuses like this, is this a sign of a bad power transformer? if so should I just salvage the tubes and scrap the unit or is it easy to come across a new power transformer for one of these? Or would a bad filter capacitor cause this radio to blow fuses?
I'm hoping this is going to be an easy fix, as the last 3 Grundig radios I've attempted to repair were all failures and ended up with me having to toss them.
Any help would be appreciated.
