Bad Transformer On Grease Gun Repalced With Doorbell Transformer
Richard Rogers, Bentley, La.: “The charger went bad on my Alemite 14.4-volt battery-powered grease gun due to a bad transformer. A replacement charger from the company would have cost about $150. Instead, I replaced the bad transformer with a 16-volt doorbell transformer that I bought at Home Depot for $11. 
  “A friend who is an electrician placed the doorbell transformer inside the charger in place of the original transformer and then stuffed material in around it to hold it in place. The 16-volt doorbell transformer has a little less wattage than the original transformer so the charger now works slower than before, but that’s not a problem.”
