Hello
I would like to know if someone used or know about these transformers?
One of my friend who designed transformers warned me these transformers with the shared parameter impossible to be real!😕
1 output transformer SE 3.5K / 5K EL84 6BM8 ELL80 6BQ5 on eBay.ca (item 300502785423 end time 09-Mar-11 12:14:51 EST)
1 power transformer tube Amp Preamp 6BM8 EL95 ECL86 on eBay.ca (item 300498610035 end time 29-Mar-11 02:25:47 EDT)
I have not much experience with transformers
Any advise, comment welcome
Thank you 🙂
Greetings gabor
 
These appear to be good quality. They are definately in the minimalist cost, commercial production size, range. This is not bad at all, but you must make sure that your expected current loads, in AC terms, suit the specs.

Well, that should teach me not to reply to technical questions late at night... 😱

I have checked the original article, Gabor, and the schematic connections does indeed seem to be intentional. Unfortunately I cannot help you with your original question, though I would very much like to hear about your experiences with this design, once you have built it.
