Hi,
I believe I have a bad output transformer for a Stromberg Carlson AU-34 PA head. This amp uses a pair of 6L6GB tubes in a PP configuration. I've tested the OT, left installed but with all tubes removed and the caps drained. I get the following readings Primary: P1 to B+ = 112 ohms P2 to B+ = 105.7 ohms P1 to chassis - 22.5K ohms P2 to Chassis - 22.9K ohms CT to Chassis - 22.5K ohms Secondary to Chassis: Black/Ground = 0 ohms Brown/4 ohm tap = 0 ohms Red/8 ohm tap = 0 ohms Orange/15 ohm tap = 1 ohm Blk/yellow/250 ohm Tap = 10 ohms Yellow/500 ohm Tap = 12.5 ohms Primary to secondary: All combination's of any primary to any secondary result in readings around 22K ohms. I believe this is a dead OT with a short to the core the most likely problem. Assuming I'm not wrong and have not made some really obvious mistake here, I need to order a replacement OT. I found a Hammond replacement that has the same set of secondary taps, It's primary impedance is listed at 6,600CT I looked at a GE Tube Essential Characteristics manual I have and 6L6GB has a rating for "Load for Rated Output, Ohms" at 5,000 Ohms. Will anyone be able to tell me if this sounds correct or, if not, point me in the right direction to understand the procedure for calculating what the specs are for selecting a replacement transformer? Thanks, Chris |
