Hey everyone. Anyone know where I might be able to find a power transformer for a 1975 Fender Super Twin amp? I've looked around at about 10 different sites, and as this amp was only made for two years, '75 & '76, and was probably one of the worst-rated Fender amps, I am finding this a difficult challenge.
Any leads would be great. TIA

I don't know about an exact part, but I would expect that a Hammond 1650WA would do the trick. It's a 28lb monster though.
Uh, thanks, I think. This is a friend's amplifier, and as he may ultimately use it for playing shows, I doubt he'll want a "tumor" to lug around as well. The amp is rated at 180W out, so the 6 output tubes might start to sweat a little. I thought I had an electronic copy of the schem, but I'll have to rescan it.
Oh, wait... brainfart. I was thinking OUTPUT transformer. Sorry. Duh.
Regardless it would need a beast of a power transformer.
Well, the one on there is certainly a beast, but I wasn't about to weight it.
Seems all of the secondaries are sagging(500V is looking more like 407V) and I saw this on another Fender amp that I worked on about 6 years ago. I'll look into that transformer though, thanks for your help.
Check with Paul at Mercury Magnetics, they have one listed for the Super Twin. Don't know if it's the one you need though.

Thanks. I did look at that site and they only offer the output transfomer and the reverb xformer for the ST Reverb. I might drop Paul an email and maybe he can point me in the right direction.
