This finishes off the 72 audio iron. we have two different samples here. Siemens and Tab

Coil Structure identical for both units - S - P - S - P - S

Siemens: Pri - 3,896 Turns #38 Sec 348 Turns #34 =  11:1 ratio - 3 sec winds  in parallel

TAB: Pri - 4,020 Turns #38 Sec - 992 Turns #34 = 4:1 ratio - 3 pri winds in series

Siemens has Pri winds split as 1948 and 1948 Turns each

TAB has Pri winds split as inner Pri  2,180 Turns  - outer Pri 1,840 Turns for D.C.R. balance.

Laminations: EI48 (mm) , 45 ea. Lace 1 x 1, Square Stack

Perm: Siemens - 22 Henries/1,000 T = 7,350  TAB: 12 Henries/1,000 T = 4,000

No reverse winding, no foldback winding, no bi-fi winding,

TAB  is on a plastic bobbin, Siemens is the old school Permali board.

Siemens has the higher perm core  to make up for the almost 1/3 drop in Sec turns,

a 1/3 drop means a 1/9 drop in output inductance, as it stands, the Siemens has 2 H. vs 12 for TAB.

i figure since the Siemens had the flipped input transformer, that with the reduced output ratio,

it could have been inside a console as a buss amp, where as the TAB was used as outboard .

ok, some pics>

here are the shields joining the fish, which is always brn, start-blk, fin-brn, life is simple, eh?

no DC on the hi perm core>

those brass inserts sit inside the core holes, allowing no pressure from the core clamps,

this high octane alloy moves around a lot when it gets hits hard,

the lesser perm TAB had no brass inserts.

Excellent info there CJ,

...amazing all those slight differences between the manufacturers.

BTW,

is your site offline?

vacuumbrain

...either that, or you're much better looking than we remember!

:eek:
