OT impedance taps question

[leslie]

Interesting thing i measured always the same on green(8ohm) and orange(16ohm)

Oh i forgot this is a 18W OT (not 36W)

Hey sub,
yeah it's hard to measure low ohms and megaohms acuratelly with generic DMM...
The reason the 8 to 16 ohm tap is reading similar is because secondary wire is thick and you have only about let's say 30 windings or so inbetween end of 8 and 16...so it's hard to be accurate there...
the bigest windings (number of turns) is beetween Ground and 4 0hm tap around let's say 70 windings or so.

So winding turns progression looks something like this :

-70-30-30- (let' say complete winding is 130 turns)

"-" is your leads 0,4,8,16

Thank you Leslie!

I must have guessed right. The green (middle coming out of the OT) wire appears to be 8 ohm. I played it for 3 hours no problem. BTW, I really like the Vintage 30. It has a surprising amount of bass.
