36 PT seperatly?

Post by lovedat800 »

Does anyone know where i can get the 36w PT seperatly, or if not at least a sub thats as good? I like a lot of clean headroom, so if there is a spec that would help there such as more current or such then i'd like to go that direction even moreso than the 36w heyboer. Anyways, i have a OT so i just need the PT.
Also, what do i need to know about the OT i have to be sure it's going to sound good. It's a heyboer i had them make for my peavey c30 with a 3800 primary and 4 and 8 ohm taps. (only taps i need) What other spec might indicate a good or bad match for the 36? I image four el34's are four el34's any way you look at it, eh?

You'll end up with more than 36 watts with 4 EL34's. If you are looking for a PT, Antique Radio Supply has a replacement PT for the AC30 Reissue for $79.00

May not be listed on his website but I know Graydon Stuckey has 36 watt power transformers; I'm using one in a build now getting underway. As far as I know, he has a laydown-type that fits the same chassis cutout as the standard 18 watt PT or a stand-up model if you prefer. E-mail him; I'm sure he can set you up. (Made by Heyboer; TOP quality products)
Hope this helps...

PS: The OT specs look good; The PT should be 275-0-275 or 290-0-290 at 200 ma or better with filament winding capable of delivering 6.3VAC at at least 4 amps. Also, a rectifier winding that gives at least 1 amp at 6.3VAC if using the 6CA4/EZ81 recto, OR 5.0VAC at 2 amps if using 5Y3 or 5AR4/GZ34
type recto. If you plan on using solid state rectos you don't need the recto winding.

Sorry...i meant el84's of course.
Tubetek...thanks for those specs. I wasn't sure about the current requirements for the filaments. I'm now contemplating what to get. i know GDS will sell them, but since i asked this i've been investigating and there are hammonds with the required specs at much less. So i may just go that way.
