The bell on Tammy's OT indicates Stancor iron... Though it also matches the Pacific transformer 11415.

OK see if you can stay with me on this thinking...

Stancor was the OLD iron used in the TW most commonly model A-3801 which transistioned in Pacific Transformer 11415 I'm not aware of a second transformer made by Pacific Transformers used in authentic TW's

Still with me..

Roxy Liverpool 1994 used New iron

Meaning the liverpool was a 6.6K - A-3801 or Pacific Transformer 11415

Looking back on old threads yesterday for the Liverpool it was said TW used the Stancor A-3801 6k6 not 5k2 for Liverpool and Express 6k6.

Since We started making faceplates we have been compiling a list of all known KF TW's. In an attempt to NOT duplicate known images.

Name
Model
Date
Image
Pictures
Cabinet Material
Cabinet Jointery
Cabinet Construction
Power Transformer Type
Output Transformer Type
Choke (Rocket(s) and Liverpool-Rocket)
Any Known Modifications

We have collected data on 80+ TW so far.

38 Express
32 Liverpool
5 Rocket
8 Misc Special Edition models

What is interesting is the Liverpool builds starting in 1991-'92 randomly used Pacific 11415 and all Liverpool's build post 1994 use the "NEW" Pacific 11415 same as the Express.

If we can lets talk correct Power Transformers for a second.

I have found information that points to Pacific Transformer as the Power Tranformer used in later Express amps that use the 11415 OT.

Can that also be said for Liverpools using the 11415 Iron?

What PT was used with Stancor and Dynaco iron?

One Rocket used a Heyboer PT but only one and I have no knowledge of the model number.

Do we have any actual gut shots of a Liverpool?
