[SBE] Question about a toroid core --

yes, the core is clearly damaged. The windings, which I very carefully
removed, are intact and are not shorted. Since substituting an identical,
but not burned toroid made the amp work perfectly, I'm certain that the
core's characteristcs have changed --

Thanks !!
