Re: Baird Garrick
Hi Phillip,
sadly I doubt that Mike has a supply of original EHT transformers.
He can certainly make one from scratch as he did for my HMV 905 from which it was missing entirely.
For the Garrick, what was needed was a potted transformer and it was fortunate that Mike happened to find one.
From what I can tell, the Garrick had a choice of the T5 EHT transformer or another type which might be made to the Bush T91 design (I can't verify the T91 theory). Either way, both choices were potted, though the T5 transformer is much smaller and possibly has lower EHT than the other option.
About the contrast pot. I was never very clear about what the trouble was, so I am prepared that it may become intermittent in future. The carbon and the wirewound pots seem to be based on american designs (reliance branded), indeed the pot that gave you trouble in your 904 would have been american I think.
Cheers
Andy
