so I have a 1623 that broke a pin. I have about an 1/8" of wire sticking out from the transformer behind the paper panel. I guess I have to find a way to remove the insulation and then solder to it. Any ideas?
Hello,
Maybe ask Lundahl company.
I have been using lots of Lundahl and i told them a few times that the connections they use on your transformer are just bad! AND that i would be happy to pay extra for a better solution..
With your connection sometimes during soldering the wire coming from the '' coil '' falls down. What they should do is making the wire a bit longer guide it through the board and then wire wrap it around a kind of pin so it will stay foot. Especially with a short wire from the coil you dont have much choice.
What i have done is use a solid wire guide it through the board ( with a extra hole can do it in a U shape. Then create a kind of wire wrap to connect the Lundahl wire to one or both of the U legs.

This is how I have solved the issue with Lundahl pin connections. It is especially useful when breadboarding the amp since no soldering is required.
