hey guys how is everybody ive been really struggling to get my preamp going again,
i blew the reg and windings in my old transformer,
i built a really nice 6sn7 cascading mu follower line stage with a linier regulated high voltage supply, but originally i used a chinese unbranded transformer that was labled to be the correct current rateing i required but i suspect was fairly overstated
now after 3 months no pre i finally came across this old trimax transformer that should be 320-0-320 with filaments and 5v winding,
i have traced the winding groups as you can see in pictures bellow and those numbers on top are the ohms readings and the link is the CT,
i suspect its one of those 5ohm taps but cant be sure I'm connecting them to test on my 40w dim bulb and its lighting em up like a short another friend sugested a 200w bulb but ive had bigger on my little dim lightbulb tester and it dims slowly as the power builds up
ive also included pictures of the winding close up and colors its an old trimax transformer from the fifty's out of a trimax a54monoblock used for broadcasting
im really desperate for any help here guys no tubes in pre is like no sugar in the first morning coffee
