Has anyone had any luck finding an alternative vendor for the transformer that the MSP3140 uses. M&R wants $623 for it. I tried looking up the numbers shown on the photo but no luck. Item #1019146
Do I just bite the bullet on this one?

Can you pull the old one and find the numbers on it? It's probably half the price elsewhere.

They obscure/remove markings.
If you know the voltages in/out and watts you can easily find a replacement.
Not sure what it is about the MSP3140, but those things eat what are otherwise considered least likely to die components in
the electronics world, IE transformers and chokes. I vaguely recall someone adding more cooling fans to the controls box which
probably isn't a bad idear.

Thanks for the replies. I'll have to dig in there and see if the old one has anything on it.
Do you think it will tell me voltage in/out and watts?

maybe a schematic would tell you, or an M&R tech would tell you what the voltage plus AC/DC should be on each side of the transformer

Does M&R provide schematics for their products? All my other machines came with them, and I would love one for our
Sprint dryer. I realized yesterday (after having this thing for 10 years) that there is a beefy 240/120 transformer that is powered on
24/7 (for the controls) that I would like to nix, it's just wasteful and will eventually die.
