bad transformer

Posted by Ralph on September 15, 2020 at 08:17:32:

Well the fact that the leads were disconnected made it a good bet that someone had already sorted out that the transformer had failed.

This is clearly a custom part. So you could have one designed and made up, which would likely run you about $500-$750.00. Or you could use a number of separate transformers to make up the voltages needed. The 6.3V filament winding is probably available as an off-the-shelf toroid. You might be able to find the other voltages except for the B+ for the output tubes- my guess is a custom transformer will be needed for that. Getting all this to fit under that power transformer cover might be a trick. But you might also have room for the smaller transformers (Bias and driver power supply) beneath the chassis.
