RE: Futterman H-3 restoration




Attached is the spec sheet for my H3 transformer. They measured everything when taking it apart so they could accurately rebuild it. Not cheap.

I did gut the Futterman when I rebuilt it. The old parts were not useful and the wiring was pretty poorly done. Everything was replaced aside from tube sockets. I was hoping to keep the transformer, but when I started to bring up the amp on a variac it was obvious that was not to be. If you keep a bunch of old parts in there, you will likely experience death of a thousand cuts as they fail (hard or soft) one after another.
