Everyday I discover something new (to me) - Selmer 25U Phase Inverter ???

[kagliostro]

I had under the eyes lot of times the Selmer schematics and always in my mind the PI in the T2U and 25U were archived as Transformer Phase Inverters

few minutes ago I was astonished seeng that the PI isn't a transformer, in the schematic it is indicated as a coil with an intake (50% I think)

Can someone explain how that can act as a PI ?

There are other amps with this architecture ?

Is possible to find documentation about those kind of coils ?






Many Thanks

The coil is an autotransformer.

Specifically a Center-Tapped autotransformer.

You can fake it with a high-impedance push-pull transformer primary.
