I just bought a full recapped Philco 45 "butterfly". After playing it for about 45 minutes I shut it down and put my hand on the power transformer. It feels pretty warm. Not hot enough so you can't hold your hand on it but warm.

From past experiences, I haven't had any other sets do this that I can remember. What can be causing this?? Any info would be appreciated.
