I'm building my first solid state amp and I decided to go with the F6 based on my use case and the fact that the M2 boards were backordered when I made my purchase. Once I got to soldering the transformers on, I noticed that one of the transformers had some of the laminations that were splayed apart. It's a super minor condition on 3 of the corners, only affecting the top 2 or 3 plies.
Am I OK just running these as is? My other idea was super glue and a zip tie to stick it back down. I'm probably just being overly nervous due to this being my first real DIY build.

I agree it is unimportant but my ocd would also encourage you to implement the superglue fix you suggested.
Ok, good to hear that it's not anything wrong structurally. I'll probably leave it, and it I wanna get a little bit extra I'll look at some Sowter transformers as an upgrade. I'll have to listen to it first before I make any moves like that.
