Tandberg Tube 245 / 25 / 6.3 V Power Transformer 64 62 Type 273-B 12AX7 12AU7 50 Hz Preamp Project 1965
Our users rate Reverb
Fully 60 Hz AC tested and guaranteed vintage tube preamp transformer. AC testing using an oscilloscope allows us to find and reject transformers with noisy outputs, which a simple resistance or continuity test will not show you. Made in Norway sometime between 1958 and 1965.
This powered an AC motor and a bunch of tubes. The 25VAC output was rectified to DC (via solid state bridge rectifier) and provided the heater for eight tubes (4 12AX7, 2 12AU7, and 2 12AT7) by putting the heater for pairs of tubes in series at 25V. DC heating was used on signal tubes to reduce hum. The indicator tubes and one other 12AU7 used a direct 6.3VAC tap from the transformer.
Selectable input voltages make this transformer a great option for amps you're going to export: 110, 125, 145, 200, 220, 245VAC. It is also rated at 50 Hz, unlike the ones Tandberg made exclusively for the US market.
outputs:
245 VAC fused at 0.2A
25 VAC fused at 2A
6.3 VAC fused at 2A
The voltages run a bit higher when run at modern AC levels instead of the 117 VAC that was specified in 1965.
