Gibson GA-20RVT Power transformer
« on: December 10, 2010, 06:00:39 am »
Good Day forum members, big fan of this forum and I've learn alot, thanks. I hope you can help. I've got a Gibson GA-20RVT amp on my bench that I'm getting no voltage off the PT. So I believe the transformers shot. Problem is where you get transformer for these amps. I'm not having any luck finding anything on the web. Do you folk's have any ideas? Thanks for your help.

Which GA-20RVT? Gibson used this reference for half a dozen models spanning 40+ years...

I believe this amp is from the 60', I found the schematic for it on this web site.

OK. This schemo then: http://www.el34world.com/charts/Schematics/files/gibson/GA-20RVT.pdf

The original PT is a TF-105P-1, with 250-0-250 V & 6.3 V secondaries.

No drop-in replacement that I'm aware of, but I guess that Mercury Magnetics could help you here: check with Patrick Selfridge (Patrick*at*MercuryMagnetics.com - replace *at* by @).
