Re: What's the best transformer type into early 100W?
Hi.
IMHO the only imaginable option for a blown transformer, be that a PT or OT, for a vintage amp is having the original rewound. Bobbins are rather easy to recreate, so is the wire, but recreating the iron is impossible. The only time that wouldn't be possible would be if the transformer have been heated (smoking) so badly that the iron is toast. OR, if the transformer is of welded construction. If the original sound is not what You're after, then it won't matter much which transformer You slap in there obviously. Regards Sam |

Rewinding a transformer is really the same as getting a new one. Nothing is really reusable but the case once it's blown.
Word on the street is that Marstran makes excellent replacement transformer. I have a pair of Heyboers in my clone and they also sound fantastic. |
