Hi Barry

The transformer came pre-soldered that way. I wasn't using a light bulb tester back then so I'm not sure if would have protested. Unfortunately the solder pads were so far gone the dac eventually packed up. I have considered getting another but I've been dabbling with various projects since and its always been put on the back burner.

I see you have been working on some new CD enclosure designs, looking good as ever!
