People swear by his SE amps. And the SE 45 amp I heard in his basement was outstanding. He used OPTs from vintage Push Pull Webster Organ amps. I neve could get a straight answer as to why they sounded good . I never would have used those OPTs but they were actually fine. I am still puzzled how he used those OPTs for a wider variety of amps.

Most likely, these transformers had enough of a natural gap to support the low current from the 45.
way back in the beginning of the us se craze sp did a article on a budget 45 amp. And I think it mentioned using a big pair pp trans as 40 ma wasn't enough to saturate them badly. There was something about webster outputs. I have read many times that they are extremely musical outputs. paper insulation and 50 years of core and wire break in might be the secret. I just bought a sansui amp for the outputs. I payed more then it would of cost me to have silk wind me a new pair. I think the sansui outputs are worth the money. And don't worry I wont break it up if it is restorable.I was looking at buying a vintage dagger a few years ago and I also read that you have to look out for flat areas in the blade as some after 50 years the metal actually breaks down. Which also makes me wonder what affects that time has on vintage transformer cores. Good or bad.
