Hi,
The transformer of my recently purchased AF makes a buzzing noise. I have a spare transformer from a Sys 11, does it fit i to the AF ? If not any solution to reduce the noise ?
thanks a lot

It look old, isn t it internal to the transformer ? If not, what kind of device could draw that much power ? Were to meter ?
just for my info, the pin is built to support all that original parts, what makes the transformer buzz with these original parts ? leaks ?
I'd start by popping out 1 fuse at a time to see if you can isolate what circuit is causing the draw.
or start by unplugging transformer plugs going to the back box, if there's still a buzzing, with nothing hooked up check transformer out put voltages to be sure there correct.
Quoted from jimy_speedt:just for my info, the pin is built to support all that original parts, what makes the transformer buzz with these original parts ? leaks ?
If you're not blowing fuses then I doubt the game is drawing too much power. If it is electrically induced it is much likelier to be low line voltage or a ground loop. The most likely answer though is that transformers will hum as they age.
Find a local shop that rebuilds transformers (getting harder to find nowadays) and they can get rid of the hum. Basically they use shims to tighten everything up.
I found a workaround, I first removed all secondary connections and the hum was still there. Then I unscrewed the transformer and put rubber under it. The noise disappeared.
