Tube power transformers

Hey,

Ok, this sounds like it began like as a television transformer. The specs 
are right for a one channel power amplifier as well, or even a small stereo 
unit.

The 5V winding is to run a rectifier (5AR4, 5U4, 5Y3 etc), the 6.3V is for 
the main heater circuit. The 600V is of course the B+. The filament 
supplies can run one or two rectifiers, and about two dozen small signal 
tubes...

Did you notice another tap anywhere that seems to be making about 70-90V or 
so? This would be for a fixed-bias supply, and would give the part away as 
an audio supply.



In short, nice transformer.
