main power transformer for Fisher

SharpyWarpy · 27th June 2007, 11:25 PM

Anybody know where to find a main power transformer for a Fisher "Studio Standard" model CA885? The part number is 4-2512-23700, a google search without the dashes turned up one result but, alas, it is no longer available and the site recommends a substitute part which it doesn't provide. I can't find any information about the transformer, either, and neither the shop manual nor the schematic give the output voltage. If I only knew what the output voltage is I could probably find something to replace it with. See the attached pics. Thanks.

I take it ,it is 117vac primary , what secondary voltages do you need. And what is the pin spacing measurements.

Hi,
main power transformer? it looks tiny, is this a pre-amp?
where in the circuit is it fitted?

It's called a main power transformer in the schematic, it provides power to the function control, the remote and the main power relay circuits. There's a much bigger transformer -- the sub power one -- for the main amplifier circuit.
This little transformer turned out not to be the problem with this amp, a 5.6 volt zener diode used as a voltage regulator was the problem, apparently a victim of line voltage surge. Thanks for the replies.

Zener is a hell of alot cheaper than transformer....Good for you..
