Pultec Power Question

[thinktank]

Real quick, I'm putting together my gyraf pultec and am
getting 170v coming back on transformer 2. I'm using
a 110:12 as the first trannie and a 6.3:110 as my second.

I read a couple of post's here and saw that the 6 volt trannie,
when 12 volts is applied, is stepped up to a 220. Makes sense,
but I only get 170 volts coming out on each side of the
secondary. Am I doing something wrong?

Another point, I'm testing these transformers without being
hooked up to my unit. They are connected together.
If anyone could help me with my setup, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.
Nate

Or should I get a 220:12 transformer as suggested in a previous post?

This is what my problem was.

The solution is to get the same torrodial as in chuck's part list,
68063? I think that's from memory, except you wire it center tapped at 220 and it comes out smack at 220. The 6.3v spec'd in the original list,
did not work so well, I spent weaks trying to get it to work and only got it to do 170v or 340vand it would always eventually over heat.
