Tube Amp Archive

Right now I am considering a Brown Face Deluxe output transformer

Maybe a Tweed Deluxe

Mercury has one.

Still talking Silvertone, I seek a 1482 output transformer

This is an old thread, but who made the Output Transformer ?
I need one.

I want to upgrade the transformer. Mercury Magnetics wants me to give them the dimensions and mounting info so they can see if they have something.
Hammond contacted me and said they had no info on it but if I give them my transformer that they will build me one at no cost.
That sounds like a deal.

A Marshall combo amp

Anybody ?

2 questions
Any recommendations for replacement output transformers ?
Any circuit mods ?
Thanks

It is 60 cycle hum. Distance from the amp is the only thing that will help. 5 to 7 feet is too close.
No issues with humbucker pickups.

I have been hoarding back up tubes.

When I play my Teles and some P90 guitars the amp has an annoying hum when you aren't playing.
It has the original 2 prong ac cord.
I am thinking this needs to be replaced with a 3 prong grounded plug. ?
