Dynaco A470 wiring colors?

Post by aaronz28 »

Hi gang, bought an old A470 to build a rocket - and need to know the color codes.. one side is red, yellow, brown, blue, and the other side appears, blue, green, red, white/blue, white/green.

but the wires are faded somewhat so its hard to verify exact colors, and i'm not entirely sure which is which

thanks

If only we could still buy them for $29.95 apiece. Wow!

The A-441 looks interesting.

If you have one with the old cloth leads, they are the same as the diagram on the left, save for a brown wire on the secondary. I have two originals and it checks out. The colors fade and make them hard to decipher, but it's not too difficult by process of elimination.

I just named the file A-470-S because that is what Dynaclone calls their transformers and that is where I got the wiring diagram but this wiring diagram is for the original A-470.
