Question about Tektronix 120-086 transformer

Tektronix 120-086 transformer
Hello guys,
i'm not sure if tube section is the right place to start the thread about a Tektronix transformer i just bought for 40,00 €

Pic or it didn't happen ,right ?

The Tek part num. is 120-086 , the guy who sold me the thing told me it was salvaged from a 541 o-scope and service manual show that is true.

So i have all the voltages from the servie manual but no current ratings, except heater windings.

I could use the voltage drop on the series 10 ohm resistors stated on the service manual, but i think this monster is capable of more than this. Dimension and weight tell me this Iron is around 500VA and more...


Anyone can give me advices ?

Also would you rather use it for a tube amp or to make a bench supply ?
 
Hello blackair71, If your Tek transformer is part number 120-0086-00, I can give the current and voltage specs. The number you posted seems to be missing a 0. I suspect it should be 120-0086-00 and not 120-086 as noted. Confirm and I will post you the info. Mickeystan
