I finally fixed the whining SMPS transformer on this set.  I also determined
that this is the same transformer as the ones in similar chassis. (forgot to
write it down--easily searchable in parts finder--which I don't have here)
I dipped the transformer just like I used to dip NAP yokes.  I put hung it
upside down in a can of minwax polyurethane overnight--then hung it to dry
for a couple of days.  IT WORKED!!

The bummer---as soon as I turn on the set---there is another whine---from
the yoke (bonded no less)---jeesh.  I ran down to the hardware store for a
spray can of the same stuff and soaked it well.  Told the customer to let it
dry for a few hours before firing it up again.  I/we know that some noise
from the yoke is normal---but this customer was well tuned into the othe
noises coming from the set---so he wanted this one gone also.  He may or may
not have heard it after the back was back on but I had to at least go
through the motions to stiffle it-----edith.
