Repairing a Transformer
Denny’s question:
“Does anyone know where I can get a MRC Tech II transformer repaired? Thank you for your response.”

Very few electronic devices are cost effective to service. There is so much automation involved in the manufacturing process that they’re cheap to produce but expensive to repair.
I agree with Steve. it is cheaper, faster and easier to replace instead of repairing. If I had charged myself my regular hourly wage (I am an electronic, computer and telephony technician) just to troubleshoot the problem I had with my Tech II I would have been able to purchase several new ones, and that is not taking in the repair time. I was stubborn and put in way too many hours before I woke up , threw the damn thing away and purchased a new one. . . I am now going to DCC on my HO Layout.
