Stancor 743 PZ, 306 105 Power Transformer

Post by bastardbus »

I picked up this big old lab quality audio generator the other day for tubes and parts.

The tube run down is
-one 5U4
-three 6Y6GBs
-one 6L6GB
-four 6AU6s
-two 6AG7s
-one OB2
-one 6E5 eye tube

The Power transformer is a nice big one and is a Stancor 743 PZ, 306 105. I have been searching the net for exact specs on this PT with no luck so far. If anyone might have the specs or info on the PT I would greatly appreciate you posting it.

I did check voltages at got this.
PT unloaded 990 vac, 962 vac under load.
Also 535VDC at the 5U4 under load.

535VDC seems pretty darn high for any build I can think of.

Pictures of the beast....

A single 5U4 will never handle the current needed to get 300b svt up and running!

From the tube line up this unit has I would think it could handle 50 watt set up like a pair of 6L6s, 5881, KT66s, EL34s but I think 535 B+ is too high for those tubes.

Wish I could come up with solid specs on this PT though.
