Hi, newbie here.
I have an old boatanchor (Hallicrafters SX-62) undergoing exploratory surgery and find that someone added a SE transformer to the high impedence speaker taps, apparently to allow the use of more "modern" 4/8/16/32 ohm loads. Just curious if this may cause any bad juju. The SE is an old Stancor with 5K primary and is hooked to the 5K tap (and gnd).
Thanks ------- any 'this is bad engineering practice beacause......"
comments would be appreciated. I think this (separate transformer at each load) is basically what is done with 70v systems, right?
Thanks,
Rob

Yeah, I have (original) service manual and I'm not going to be making any modifications. The add-on OT is about as old as the radio itself and it sounds pretty good. Actually I'm still on a learning curve and was wondering how this configutation firured into things ---- sum of the characteristics of both OTs I suppose.
Thanks.
Thanks.
