Help with my 661


 

Hi everyone , I need help . My 661 has HV insulation breakdown in the power transformer and I need a suitable 6v transformer that can stand working at 3KV for the CRT heater . Here in the UK most sources for things like that have all but dried up . Does anyone in the group have one spare they would part with or know of a reliable source for a replacement . I would prefer as local a source as possible but obviously I would get one from anywhere .
Thanks in advance for any help with this .

Hammond Manufacturing still makes some "classic" filament transformers and I think a few are hipot tested to 4kv.

EG: 185E12. Primary 115/230. Secondary 6.3vac, 4A (in parallel -- 12.6vac 2A center tapped in series). Hipot tested to 4kv.

Catalog is here:


 

Hi Torch , I think I have found a solution -- an Ebay seller had a Stancor transformer 6.3v @ 1.2A rated for 5kV at a reasonable price , so I am now just waiting for the post .
