Magnatone M10A OT

[plexi50]

Does anyone know the primary impedance of a Magnatone M10 output transformer? I think i see 10,000 at 16 ohm on a barley ledgible old schematic. That cant be right can it?

[sluckey]

That's right.

Excuse me for buttin' in but does anyone know what happened and/or where the Maggie schem and info site went? I was looking for it a couple of weeks ago.

Where on earth and i going to find a 10,000K primary ot to put in this M10?

A lot of the Magnatone sites i have found at one time or another have slowly dissapeared. Im not sure.

The site was temporarily down but it's back up now.

10K:16r is the same as 5K:8r, so just get a Hammond 25 to 30 watt UL with 5K primary and 8r secondary and connect a 16r speaker.

Hammond 125E has multiple impedances and they sound great too.
Sure not necessary to use an ultralinear OT,but a bigger Hammond might be cool.Two 7189's are not much different than EL84's.

What? Guess you didn't go to the Hammond website.

[plexi50]

I have been all over the Hammond site. Closest thing i have found is 4K 35 watts. I dont think the tremelo in this thing will sound as sweet as it is known for with a lower primary. I found a 10K 35 watt with ultra taps but it was SE

Vibrato (not tremolo) happens in the preamp. What does the OT have to do with it?

[plexi50]

Your right. Im wasnt thinking clearly. Vibrato. I thought the impedance would dictate the tone some what. There a cloud going by. Thanks for finding the link to the 5K 30 watt OT. Im having one of those weeks.
