Bad Surgistor in Acrosound UL-120...Substitute??

Posted by Audiodyssey (D) on July 20, 2009 at 18:03:31

There is a surgistor connected to one leg of the primary on the Acrosound UL-120. It's supposed to bring the voltage up to spec in about a minute. The one in mine is shot with corrosion and the gap is way off. What can I use in place of this thing? Also, there is something in parallel with the surgistor that looks like it may have been a resistor of some sort, however it has disintegrated. I see pieces of the sand coating, but it looks almost as if the inside was made of some sort of fiberglass or cloth. Is this part and parcel with the surgistor because I don't see what else it could be. Also, is there a schematic symbol for the surgistor...might it be shown as a choke (1hy@400ma)? The schematic shows this but I don't see a choke in the traditional sense. Thanks everyone!
