Okay so I was on IRC talking to some friends and mentioned the balun transformer in my AM/FM tuner may be fried from the previous owner and maybe indirect lightning. One of the guys laughs and says "balloon transformer".
Well after looking at some schematics to figure out how most of these 300ohm inputs on tuners are made I stumbled upon this... www.fmtunerinfo.com/CT-7000schematic.jpg Note: top left corner
LMAO! I can not believe the manufacture of that tuner (not the one I own) actually named it that in the schematic! That is priceless.
