Power transformer question

[wildeman]

Just bought me a messed up Jim Kelley Facs amp with burned Power Transformer. Who knows the original specs for this one? Does Hammond or others make a drop in replacemet? I would be glad to make this thing work again.

Why not go direct to the builder? http://www.jimkelleyamplifiers.com/schem.htm Google is our friend

I think that Jim may be a member here as well. I know that I've seen him chime in from time-to-time here (or it could have been TGP, but I think here).

I found this one from Classictone. could this be the right one.

Classictone 40-18042

Assuming the bolt pattern lines up it looks close enough to ideal -- if not exactly so.

Best .. Ian

Is there any audible reason why I shouldn't go for a standard twin PT I can buy here . They match exactly . They only have 320V taps. Do I need this 345V taps only to be as close as possible to the original. What is the advantage of using the high voltage taps.

[David Root]

IIRC the FACS amp specs 485V plate. You won't get that with a 320-0-320 PT. You should get close with 345.

Yup, 485V, see schem attached.
