Build Suggestions for Hammond 261G6 PT?

Post by ncusack »

Hello everyone,

I'm wondering what ideas people have for builds using a Hammond 261G6 power transformer. To save the look up this is a 250VAC C.T @ 130mA and 6.3VAC @ 2A. All I've seen on this forum using this transformer was a post involving the pocket rocket small tube builds. I'm curious if anyone has some other suggestions for a build with this transformer.

Cheers,

Neill

How about DaGeezer's HoSo56 with either 6BM8's, 6V6's or EL84's and VVR? It's a fantastic amp using a 5879 pentode for V1. Schematic and layouts are here:

Hi Neill,

KOC uses the Xformer for a single channel AC-15 build (Top Boost channel minus the cathode follower, SS rectifier) in The Ultimate Tone vol. 3

Best Regards
