For the learned masses....
I need some direction on separating the laminations on a Dagnall so I can get down to the Primary winding on the bobin...I have a small short in the tranny's primary and I am NOT going to spend a fortune on a new one.

You will need some locking pliers & a vice for the first few laminations (which will be sacrificed). Seperate them from each other with a thin knife, bend up the solid part of the E and pull it out with your locking pliers by tilting them against the rest of the stack. The first 3-4 will have to be done this way.
After this you can just sperate with the knife & they will slide out.
This is not exactly a job for the un-experienced, so proceed with caution.

But you should know, that after you've removed the laminations, you still have to unwind 120 turns of the secondary, before you'll get to the primary.mikeokc wrote:For the learned masses....

The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp

Well never let it be said I do anything easy...I've never done surgury on one before so this is my test. I can get the thing back together once I hi pot it for insulation and dunk it in Shellac then bake....I just need to get it apart without too much more damage...hell it's broke anyway...who knows...I might discover a new winding method that makes anyone sound 100% better no matter what their playing ability is. ...yeah and monkeys will fly out my A**.
I have alredy prepared the mrs. to expect the oven to be put to use....I know I'm going to catch hell for this. Maybe a toster oven
BTW George...think I could sand the shellac off?

The shelloc the surface wont be a problem. Its the stuff between the laminations that you need to worry about... Even that only causes a problem in the first few laminations. From then on its pretty much smooth sailing.mikeokc wrote:think I could sand the shellac off?

Dont sand it either way, you could remove the covering on the laminations.
I usually use an x-acto knife to seperate.
