Hi, I have this step up with both coils interrupted so I am giving it away for free. It is useless now but a DYIer ca use its case to install new transformers.

I take it the transformers are potted? What a pity they can't be repaired....
Do or do not, there is no try

Hi Fran,
honestly I am not sure if it can be repaired. I assume it is too much of a mess to understand where the interruption is. After years of service one channel went off, so I made several tests to verify where the issue could be and my conclusion was the responsible being the step-up. Then I made my big mistake: I used a tester a final verification and I burned the other channel as well. I bought the step-up for the Denon dl-103 but I would like to change cartridge soon (with higher output V) and I will use my Manley Chinook as phono stage (no step-up).
If you need it to be posted I will have to find a box, but can prepare something in the next days.
