A friend's transformer pile... anything worthwhile?

bradb · Feb 27, 2006

A friend of mine just emailed me a pic of his hoard of transformers. I figured I'd run these by you guys to see what was usable for any projects or anything:

The UTCs are A-21s, A-16s and A-12s

The RCAs and cylindrical UTCs looked very interesting to me.

I've got a higher resolution pic if youre interested

:shock: All!

bradb · Feb 27, 2006

any ideas for what projects?

I'd love to know more about the RCAs.

I've got 2 LA2As that need some output iron....

Image overload. e-mail me the image and I will host it or better yet get a photobucket account. they are free and never run into Image overload.

sorry guys!

getting the photobucket acct right now...

bradb · Feb 27, 2006

I'll try to get some part numbers for those UTCs... Any other questions?

The Cylindrical UTCs are cvm-1...

"30W push-pull modulation xfrmrs. maybe could be used for audio output... impedance ratios and freq response okay."

hit him over the head and take them... :green:

A-21's are a great matching transformer. Good for any input requiring 600-600 ohm. SS mic inputs, maybe an HS-56, Pultec EQ input maybe?

A-16 great interstage transformer for a tube circuit. Experiment with using a transformer instead of a cap to block the DC from the mext stage.

A-12 PP input transformer. Might just be the ticket for a vari-mu comp.
