The transformer I am talking about is a Lundahl LL1669A.

I have one of the LL1669A driving only 1 pair of 6550 tube. (no problem here). This amp is driving the tweeter in my active system.

I have the second LL1669A driving 2 pairs 6550 tube. The transformer gets very hot as it is approaching the limit VA of this transformer.

I was thinking if I can connect the High voltage (340V) coil from first transformer to the high voltage (340V) coil of the second transformer so that the first transformer can share the loading of the 2nd transformer.

Note that there are other coils like 6.3V for the filament of each transformer which were loaded different under each amp. And I am planning to leave those other coil untouch.

So to be short, I am planning to connect only the High voltage coil of the LL1669A together. As the other coils of the first transformer are loaded differently to the other coils of the second transformer. The total loading of the 2 transformers will still be different.

Do you think I can share the power of the High voltage coil this way between the 2 transformer.
