Suitable Output Transformer
I've recently picked up a NOS Stabcor tranny that is rated for 35 watts. Primary impedence is 6600 ohms. I noticed in another thread that 4K is optimum for a 36 watter. I plan on using a quad of 6V6's. Will my Stancor tranny perform well in this situation? Thanks for any help.

In all seriousness, if you were using a small 18w tranny it likely wasn't going to last, but it was probably compounded by an Impedence mismatch as well. running the 4 tubes cuts the "desired" impedence in half. So like markh said look for one at 4k(ish) primary rated for 20-25watts (hiFi) or 35-50watts (guitar).
