Ok. (Transformer talk)

[Default]

I'm looking into having some transformers made with 6v, 50v, and 110 windings for those shock-o-matic mid-50's Guild amps. In order to make these safe, this is the only elegant way to do it. Hammond quoted me >$700 Ameros to wind a tranny for my 200S. Edcor makes one suitable for the Model 60 with a 3 month wait. If I had known about it, I would have stopped using isolation transformers. I just don't like the wait, and this company makes guitar amp transformers almost exclusively.

Oh, this will also avoid festooning the chassis with three separate power transformers.

I guess it’s the one with the 50L6?

Yep. The amp pros are not coming up big for me, so I'm figuring it out on my own.

I thought Stacor had a transformer that Alembic used in the tube preamp racks but i don’t believe it had a 50v tap nor do I believe it has enough amperage to power that Guild you have. What’s the tube layout?

Edcor has one that will work for the 2x50L6, but probably not enough for the 4x, and definitely not for the 200S. Also, the two I ordered from Edcor aren't showing up until July. There are a couple I can source with enough primary juice, but they only have 6v windings. I could just do a build with 6W6GTs, which are identical except for the heater voltage and draw. 1.2 amps. Per tube!
