Eliot: First question: No. The welding was done AFTER assembly. Do you
think you could grind the weld-line away with a hand-grinder? Slip out the
laminations, and wind a new coil using a WOODEN "spool" inside the nylon
"bobbin" from which you chiseled the fine secondary wire out, to support it
during turning. Necessary!

So, second question: Yes, but don't! Unless there is a war, and you are the
only person around to "save the good guys" by rebuilding that one transformer!
