Hello Pat,

        We also lost the transformer in our Delta S magnet power supply
(open primary winding).  I was able to replace it with a Microtran
#PLT5.0-140 from Digi-Key.  Cost was $8.60 in 1997.  While it fit the
circuit board correctly, I seem to remember I had to install some jumpers
instead of using the original traces.  If it isn't obvious when you look at
it give me a call and I'll pull ours and see exactly what I did.  A word of
warning: be careful poking around on the magnet power supply card- the
common return floats at 240VAC rather than ground potential.


good luck,

Charles
