Fully 60 Hz AC tested and guaranteed vintage tube preamp transformer. AC testing using an oscilloscope allows us to find and reject transformers with noisy outputs, which a simple resistance or continuity test will not reveal. Made in USA in 1962. Weighs 3 lbs 15 oz. Bolt spacings 66 mm by 50 mm.
The much more common 12676-1 is also available for a discount relative to this model.
This transformer originally provided heater current and high voltage HT B+ for 4 12AX7, 2 12AU7, 6AF6G magic eye tube, 6L6GB (or 7591) power tube, and a 5Y3GT rectifier tube in a Voice of Music amp. You can make a push-pull 6V6 5E3 Fender clone amp out of this, or a 6L6GC SE amp.
Here are the verified connections for this transformer. A list of Sound By Doc standardized color codes can be found below:
Input 117 VAC
outputs:
red pair 720 VAC @ 60 mA, center tapped with red/yellow (other sellers quote this as 800 VAC - they are probably measuring under no load)
green to green/yellow pair 6.3 VAC @ 4 A, center tapped with green/yellow
yellow pair 5 VAC @ 2 A
We use a standardized wire identification scheme featuring bright cable ties. In case of any ambiguity, 117V input will be wrapped with a black cable tie, red is high-voltage, yellow is 5V for rectifier, green is 6.3V, blue is 12.6V, white is 117V out for use as an isolation transformer or tubes with series heaters, purple is a second (or third!) 6.3V output.
The voltages run a bit higher when run at modern AC levels instead of the 117 VAC that was specified in the 1950s and 1960s.
