hi,

i inherited this console fron my grandfather, Te power transformer was shot, because the filter caps failed, and someone put a wire in the fuse. 

I sent the trasformer to repair it, but the technician dissapeared with the transfomer.

the console sat for years collecting dust in my house, and now i decided to finish the repair.

i will make a full recap and change the selenium rectifiers.

i started collecting info about it to figure out the specs of the transformer.

i found the schematic for the amplifier(NF2) and with this info i figured out some specs

For the B+:

312V[A*T]150Ma after rectifier.

312/1.44=217 

first tap= 220V[A*T]150mA, but to be sure 220V[A*T]250mA.

If i consider the transformer regulation then 240V[A*T]250mA

For heaters the transformer have 2 windings:

first one for tubes in amp section and dial lamps.

The consumption for all tubes is around 4A

so this winding is 6,3V 4A

second one for tubes in pre/tuner section:

the consumption for all tubes is around 3A

So This winding is 6,3V[A*T]3A.

For bias

-16V after rectifier.

then it is adjusted with resistors to -11V 

so this winding is 12V[A*T]30mA

so far so good, but then i came across the sams photofact for this model and the values are not the same for b+

the specs for the transformer are the following:

Secondary 1: 320V[A*T]150mA

secondary 2: 6,3V[A*T]2,4A

secondary 3: 6,3V[A*T]4A

secondary 4 15V[A*T]20mA.

also lists 330V after rectifier.

i'm a little confused. 320VAC is way to high even to get 330V after rectifier and considering the loss in selenium rectifiers and transformer regulation.

also i think 150 mA is too little. 

i'm missing something?

also i'm curious about output trannies.

the sams photofact lists the following

primary: 5Kohms CT

secondary 3-4 ohms

i think 5K ist too little for  2 el84 Push-pull.

maybe is 5k between plate and center tap?, so the transformer is 10K?
