FEELER: Moby´s T14/1 and C12A transformers reincarnations

[soapfoot]

This is a longshot, but any consideration given to the Rohde and Schwartz V2545 used in early C12s?

The two best C12s I ever heard both used this transformer, and as far as I know, nobody makes a current replacement

Unfortunatelly i have no technical info about the V2545

But, again. If it's enaugh people interested in I can dig it deeper and make it happen

Oh Boy, I definately would be interested!! I‘m quite sure that we have a member with a SM204/C12. Maybe he could provide some Information. I just know, that the transformer was wound with M42 Core. And probably had a Ratio of 9:1.

I would like to have three of these if you end up making them

 

[geareyes]

Ditto, I’d take two!

 

[Moby]

I'm glad to know that you are interested in. As soon I find some more info about the V2545 we will start the feeler about it. Fingers crossed
If someone has the V2545 available, ready for analyzing, please let me know.

 

[soapfoot]

Yes, I’d definitely take two of V2545 if anyone has a specimen they could loan for data gathering

I work on it. So far no specimen but I really hope I will find it. Of course, the broken one is also welcome and I can rewind it for free

I sent an Austrian guy to you about that and I will get a mic for restoration soon.

Hey mate. Thanks. Yes, he contacted me. Fingers crossed
I'm really curious about the V2545 mojo.

Just a little info for those looking for a t14. After trying all the usual suspects in my 251 clone ( Ami, haufe, cinemag) Mobys is the best sounding to my ears…I think he uses some black magic medieval alchemy in his iron.

Thanks! In some parts of my country it's called "katabaza". (Katabasis). Luckilly I don't do that kind of work but some chemistry is done for sure. So yes, I have some secret recipe for cooking this "little bastards".

Haha…I bet. Well I ain’t asking any questions…it’s dangerous

If the V2545 is unobtainable or otherwise problematic, it would probably be just as useful to have a recreation of the similarly constructed Henry transformers. Either way I am very grateful for the work Moby does in reviving these old transformers.

Thanks. Why do you think that V2545 is unobtainable and problematic?

 

[soapfoot]

Thanks. Why do you think that V2545 is unobtainable and problematic?

I think he just means "in case it proves impossible to find or difficult to reverse-engineer"



And yes, the similar Henry transformer would also be interesting!

 

[Moby]

Got it. It uses long time obsolete crazy M type of laminations and that is the main issue. It will ask for the custom stamp tooI evaluation, but that's nothing new for me I will let you know as soon I examine one specimen.

Hey guys, I'm interested in building an AKG C12A inspired mic when my Ü11 arrives using the 7586 tube. It would be incredible if more people could contribute.

To make things more interesting to me, I’m thinking 8532W / CV5311.
