Hello, I posted this earlier but it never showed up so I will try again. A friend has a 2100-65 that has a smoked output transformer (5-75). He needs this unit quickly, and I'm wondering if I can possibly replace with a Hammond 1650K that I have in my shop. This would be a temporary fix until we get the original rewound. The amplifier seems OK, I think that transformer just died of old age. Any thoughts? Thank you Don | ||

there is more to replacing an output transformer than to replace as you probably know. The sise of the winding, the number of windings and impedance... My 2 cents would say be carefull...but lets keep the thread alive and see what others say....I would say NO..unless you know the facts | ||

You definitely would want to know how closely the windings match the original to determine how safe and how effective such a substitution would be. Personally, this type of situation is one of the reasons why I own more than one amp! Back-ups Rule! Steve | ||

I'm assuming it might be OK having read this. http://www.torresengineering.com/ham50wa toutt.html and this http://www.hammondmfg.com/1608.htm I was hoping someone might have used this as a replacement already. Don | ||

I have a 5-75 nearly new OT if anyone needs one. It was a replacement tranny in my 112-65 by a previous owner, but was not the correct match for the chassis schematic. I just took it out and put in a correctly matched 3-65, so the 5-75 is available for any reasonable offer. It's on eBay until 2/1/05 | ||
