  • I love Tube amps
So the secondary wire on my 1954, I think, Wide Panel Princeton broke off of the positive side of the output transformer.  Its the type where the output transformer mounts to the speaker basket.  I could possibly try and solder it back together but I really dont think thats gonna work out.  Now the amp is a player, its been recapped on the power supply along with new dropping resistors and screen resistor. The original speaker was swapped for a weber signature. 

So I am considering just having the original speaker repaired and having the original output transformer repaired/rewound at the same time.

Who does everyone recommend to rewind the transformer and re cone the speaker?  I was thinking weber on the speaker but will consider someone else.  I just want to get it back up to playing with as much original stuff as possible. 

Thanks

For speaker you might try Freeman-Tuell in DFW 214 324-1132


For the OPT you might talk to Patrick at Mercury Mag.


If your thinking of having the OPT rewound any try fixing it yourself.


Just suggestions.
