I was wondering why Philco has a cover over the transformer on a 40-150 that I am working on?  I removed it and find a regular old transformer in nice shape I might add.  I was wondering if there was any real reason it is there?  I noticed some pictures of this same radio on the internet that show the cover removed and was thinking the thing would run much cooler exposed to the air.  I was surprised how small this transformer looks vs other radios I have worked on with a similar number of tubes.
