tip for the future, don't apply direct flame to heat shrink. do quick passes where the flame is close but does not come into contact with the tubing. all it needs is heat.
Star washers on the bell housing to tie it electrically and magnetically to the core and then isolate the transformer from the chassis, can you explain the benefits of both actions? Thanks!
isolation of power transformer from the chassis is a good way of preventing hum from the mounting bolts passing to the chassis. Impressed with the details of Bottlehead design. Build more and enjoy, James Kaolee.
