Give me a shout if you need any measurements or voltages taken. I’ve also got a Mk4.

nah, bought it off a dude in hamilton.
thanks man. is yours stock or modded? i've seen some people do a speed mod to one of these using a dimmer switch and it's not mint and the hole drilled in it looks big enough so i might just roll with it, but at the same time. i dunno if i can be arsed. i just wanna get the output transformer back where it belongs. btw. if you've got any pictures of where it should be, don't be afraid to share.

The power transformer? I’m away from home for a few days, will get some pics when I get back.
Mine was rough but stock when I got it. I’ve since moved it into a small vintage suitcase, and recapped.

If they are broken, maybe you could buy one for parts...

There was one for sale in the South West somewhere recently. Maybe Bristol? Can't remember the price but remember it seeming very fair.
I'm only now noticing the black cat on these, which makes me like them even more!
