Fender Deluxe Output Transformer testing

[fritz203]

I tried to search for this topic, but couldn't find anything relevant.
Is there a way to test a Fender output transformer but just measuring the input/output winding ohms(not impedance)?
Thanks

Might this help?

No.
Only if windings read open you'll know it is bad.

Why do you want to test it ? What's wrong with the amp ?

input/output winding ohms

you'll want a good meter that can "zero" out probe errors since some of the readings will be in sub-ohms

Ok, thanks for all your help, that is what I was looking for.

Right DC resistors do not mean transformer will work / sound fine

I figured out the transformer is fine, that was just a part of the troubleshooting. I had a screen resistor burn out and that took out the output tubes, so I wanted to check the transformer also. It turns out I had the output tubes biased too hot. All is fixed now. Thanks.

Good news !

What is the amp we are talking about ?

[Latole]

Useful ?

A 'hard' fault on a push pull OT primary may be revealed by comparing the full primary resistance to the sum of the CT to anode resistances.

RG Keen has a transformer shorts tester.
