Greetings,
I reckon I will be asking a lot of questions in the near future.
The D-Lite kit I purchased recently came with a set of ClassicTone transformers. the PT is a 40-18029.
The layout that I have refers to a power transformer of unspecified model, so I can't lookup the specs to compare.
I want to make sure I hook this up correctly, so I am going to verify my thinking with you all and hopefully if I made an error someone can help me.
Connected the brown/white and black/white wires together, connected to the switch where the white lead is indicated. Connected the black and brown wires together, connected to the switch where the black lead is indicated. Connected the yellow wires to the point where the yellow wires are indicated. Connected the red wires to the point where the red wires are indicated. Connected the red/green to the point where the purple/yellow is indicated. Connected the green wires to the fil. Connected the orange wire to its own ground. Connected the red/yellow wire and the green/yellow to ground. Insulated and tucked away the red/white wires. 20201015_063710.jpg

Yes, I looked at the spec for the ClassicTone 40-18029, and I agree with your work. However, keep those red/white HT taps handy--if your B+ is too high, you'll want to use those instead of the red pair.

Where did you get a D-lite 44 kit from?

It was on Reverb. Someone had done a little work on it then never completed it.

Thanks! I consider this good news.

Thanks for those....
If the original OT had taps for 4k and 8k, but my current OT (ClassicTone 40-18001) has only 4.2k.
So, could I run 4 6V6s OR 2 6L6s - Is this correct?
