You haven't answered my question - why do they DESERVE problems?



**My pleasure. I learned about such things many years ago. I serviced
an amplifier whose output transformer had gone belly-up. I took it to
the rewinder. He called me a few days later, uttering many
profanities. It had 15 interleaves and cost a small fortune to
rebuild.



Are these things made by rotating the former and drawing the wire onto it,
or is there some 'arm' thingy that moves around a static former? (I'm trying
to visualise how the sucessive interleaves connect to each other.)



If you want a real challenge, think about how they wind torriods.
