Output transformer for 6GW8 pp amp
« on: August 03, 2021, 05:51:46 am »
I need an output transformer for a Guild Thunder Reverb that uses 2 6GW8 tubes.
I have a Hammond 125 universal ot does 10k seem right for the impedance.
TIA James

I have a 8K in my PP 6GW8 amp.
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

What did the guys selling this tube say?
http://www.r-type.org/pdfs/ecl86.pdf
Page 4 suggests 8k at 250V, 9k at 300v.
10k is certainly in the ballpark.
