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 reveal. Made in USA in 1950s. No IEA date code found. Weighs 9 lbs 9 oz. Bolt spacings 89 mm by 77 mm. Quantity sometimes available - please enquire.

Here are the verified connections for this transformer:

Input: 117V

Outputs:
630 VAC center tapped
6.3 VAC
Three total 6.3 VAC outputs!
5 VAC
12.6 VAC

Thick 5V looks designed to handle 2 5U4GBs.

We use a standardized wire identification scheme featuring bright cable ties. In case of any ambiguity, 117V input will be wrapped with a black cable tie, red is high-voltage, yellow is 5V for rectifier, green is 6.3V, blue is 12.6V, white is 117V out for use as an isolation transformer or tubes with series heaters, purple is a second (or third!) 6.3V output. The voltages run a bit higher when run at modern AC levels instead of the 117 VAC that was specified in the 1950s and 1960s. Serial number T-055.
