Got som problem with connecting this to the amp because i see that the colorcoding of the wires on the new transformer doesn't seem to be the same s on the old one's...
Could this transformer possibly an 120v version, and if so...
Is it possible for me to convert it into an 240v?
Andreas 😕

Where did you get it from ?
If you got it from a shop, they must have the wiring color scheme...
Isn't there any label on it ??
Maybe a photo here can help identify the colors 😉

I got it from Troide Electronics in the U.S.
The thing is that, after i had got the package (it's containing maintransformer, 2 output transformers and a choke) i found out that the firm sold a 240v transformer which gave me a little scare. That there might be a chance that so is. The scheme which i downloaded from TE shows this 117v, which confirms my suspicon.
I can put in pictures and schemes (dynaco and transformer) in 30 mins...

Hi,
If it has a purple and purple/white lead then it is the export version. This version can be wired for a 117v or 240v primary but you need to join the primary leads together in different ways to achieve this. I used to have a wiring diagram for this transformer and will continue to look. In the meantime, email Matt at Triode, he will send you a wiring diagram - they are very good over there.
Cheers,
Rob

Hi,
So it looks like you have the export version. I have used it myself and it seems to be a fine transformer. Good luck, hope that it works out OK.

Thnx again, Rob..
But since there are no purple leads or any who look like purple except black i'm still a little lost, but i'm going to ask Matt at TE and see if they got any "schematics for dummies" to e-mail me

Hi again Andreas,
Sounds like you might have the 117v version. Did you specify to triode that you needed the 240v version?
Anyhow, all is not lost. Whilst I cannot speak for triode, I have found them very good and I am sure that they will swap transformers for you - I guess that the postage costs are a bit of a killer however....
Good luck again,
Rob

Hehehehe...
I guess it's imported, Rob.
But this hasn't the original board, since i replaced it with a "Mapletree Audio Design" (MAD) board😉
Switched for 2 months ago... At the same time the transformer on the right hand died.
Thnx again 🙂
Cheers...

Hello again, Rob...
No they didn't ask me.
So i guessed it was an which could be used both for 120 and 240..
Untill i couldn't see any match either in color or in "power".
In my version there is about 3 spare wires, so such a 240v connection might be be possible... If i'm lucky🙂
But though.. Thanx again!

I did'nt manage to listen to it for long before the output-transformator did die... But what i heard was indeed very promising! As you see it looks very nice, and the price isn't that bad either. I guess about 200 Canadian dollars? and then you also get some decent tubes🙂 ...but not the red RCA which i bought because i wanted 2 try them... and also because of the colors. Red.. Like the board😉
