You're very welcome, and good luck!
Much appreciated! Thank you!
There's these folks in Mountain Lakes NJ. If you're in the NYC area they might be a good bet.

They're Lionel specialists, pre-war, post-war, and current production. I don't know if they do transformer rebuilds but it wouldn't hurt to ask.
Another pre-war and post-war specialist in NJ is:

Farther afield, there's these folks.

I don't know if the last two rebuild transformers either, again, you'd have to ask.
Hope this helps!
I purchased a "working" Lionel Type K transformer... but I don't have the nerve to plug this in and test it myself LOL. I bought it with intentions of essentially having it totally gutted and restored (as needed) so I can use this as my primary transformer to run my standard gauge trains. Something about a period transformer running my trains on original Lionel track just makes me smile.
Now for the question... does anyone know someone I can send this dinosaur to to have it rebuilt? I appreciate any suggestions! I'm in the NYC area so the closer the better for shipping costs, but I'd send it anywhere!
