Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

Second Power Transformer transformed







Like the first one, previously posted, this took me four hours to re-do.

All the newly-added lead wire is 12 AWG, Mil Spec. The primary became "double 12 AWG" lead ins, black, gray and white. Double 12 AWG is effectively 9 AWG . ( Stock was 22 AWG . )

The 5 VCT rectifier leads ( 18 AWG - stock ) became single-yellows (12 AWG ) twisted, and double yellow as the center tap, which is the HV B+ feed to L1 in the B+ filter chain.

The HV winding ( 22 AWG stock ) became single oranges (12 AWG ) twisted ( 'had no red color ) and double orange, LONG length - 24 inches, as the HV center tap's GROUND return...... to amp's Star Ground. Effectively - 9 AWG.

I was able to carefully TRIPLE heatshrink insulate all the leads, where joined under the end bells. Electrical taped the end bells inside also. No shims of the end bell were required.

Just took my time and did it as good as I could. How does this sound?? :-)

Have FUN building, I am !!
