Tranny arrived today. I found some spanners big enough to get the old
one out. Fitted the replacement, along with an inrush thermistor from
Farnell, and two new level pots (both the originals went round and round
... ). Gingerly powered it via the variac and Lo! Up it came !


What's the spec of this tranny, Arfur?


Single primary at 0 - 240v

One multi-tap secondary 120v - 80v - 40v - 0 - 40v - 80v - 120v

and one single centre tapped secondary 13v - 0 - 13v

It doesn't say on it what the VA rating is, but it's a lot. This thing is 14
cm diameter by 12 cm tall and almost too heavy to pick up with one hand ...

And there's two of them in the amp - one for each channel :-)
