Does anyone know where I could get a terminal nut to fit one of these transformers? I have the hex nut that holds the terminal to the back plate, but the blackened nut that holds the wire against the hex nut is gone. I checked the Portlines and FRG sites, but I don’t see a listing for this part.
That may be a tough one, Rich. Here is a “junker” on eBay:
Not knowing what the final winning bid will be, it is probably an expensive way to get that post nut.
I guess I would match it up as best I could at either Ace or True Value until I found one at a train show. I have found that the above two stores carry more “old-fashioned” hardware than the big-box stores.
I bought a transformer recently that was a good one but had a Lionel nut on one post. I threw that nut away. LOL
Good luck!

Tim,
Thanks for the link. I would have tried to destroy that nut before throwing it out.[}:)] Better yet, destroy the transformer since it has been contaminated.
Hah-Hah-Hah-Hah-Hah! Good 'un! Next time, I’ll stop and think, “What would Jim do”. LOL
Regards,
Timboy
