fwiw, you can`t go wrong PERIOD w/these trannies use them in my Fender HR Deluxe mods w/KILLER RESULTS, also used them in DIAZ amps when i built for them, Electric amp as well, just plain GOOD... BUT, to ME the Dual showman/bassman 100 output is well gooood...Look at Dumble SN 0124 here on forum, same output tranny. It has a really unique silky top end to it..I also use the excact same power transformer, really BIG, its dif than the twin power, and that is a VERY important thing man.. good luck..

Use

DO-50 for a 50 watter and use DO-100 for a 100 watter-TRUST ME!

Funk, what do those have for impedance taps on the secondary?

[tomo]

Funk, Thank you.
I saw Mercury's catalog, but I can't find "DO-100".
Which tranny is "DO-100"?

I'll use these tranny for Power and Choke.
Do you know better ones?
FBFTP : TWIN Blackface -- #125P34A
FBFS-C3H : Blackface -- #125C1A

Thank you. I found.
I checked all Brands, but I was missing the link of "Various other Guitar Amplifiers".

I got DO-100's diagram from Mercury.
secondary : 4,8,16ohm taps
primaly : ultra linear taps

Do you know better Power and choke?
FBFTP : TWIN Blackface -- #125P34A
FBFS-C3H : Blackface -- #125C1A
Please advise.

Funk,

What do you recommend for the UL tabs? connect them to grids or not use them?


Thanks,
Jelle

[Funkalicousgroove]

Don't use the UL taps,

I REALLY like the Mercury 2.84H Tweed Bassman Choke.

Use the PT with the LOWER voltage, you really only want about 440vdc on the plates.

If you're using one of my chassis they are drilled to fit a standard Twin Reverb OT, so you may have to add a couple holes to fit the mercury.

[jelle]

Ok, thanks!

Will the Bassman choke also work for 100w amps?

Jelle

[groovtubin]

Use

DO-50 for a 50 watter and use DO-100 for a 100 watter-TRUST ME!

totally agree, the westminister i had in here w/dynaco OT sold me

[jelle]

Hey, how are you doing! Thanks for the info!

Greetings,

Check out these Dyna-clone OT's! Power transformers, too!

Note: A 17W rated Hi-Fi OT can do very well with 35 W rated guitar amp, while a 35W rated Hi-Fi OT can do very well with a 70W guitar amp.

Look at the prices (compared to Mercury)

All the best,

Sven
